So i had this light from my chameleon cage and i have 2 dome lights too just didnt take a picture. It says not for aquariums but what would happen if i tried yo use it? Like would it grow corals? It has 2 26w lights. Im just curious here

it says not for aquariums due to moisture. not sure on spectrum of lighting and guessing it would grow lots of nice algae, but not corals.

Hopefully not electrocution. You realize what a superb conductor of electricity saltwater is... right? http://www.hometrainingtools.com/sal...roject/a/1344/

And I thought my signature was just a clever Serj Tankian lyric...

I would recommend just buying an aquarium light. Someone once told me "you gotta pay to play buddy" I know some of the equipment is expensive but trust me in the end its all worth it.
