Hey, have anyone tried to light their tank with solar light?

Not only will save money but be beneficial.

Any comments?

TIA

Huge upfront cost. Possibly less expensive over a long time, but there isn't
much long-term experience with it to be sure.

There's a guy in Portugual with a outside solar reef tank. You'll have
to search around on http://www.reefcentral.com/ forums to find his thread.

I've thought of it myself. I've seen a couple of designs that use a
mylar light tube to direct light into the reef. Seems reasonable but it
would take some modifications to your house.
