use marble tiling, but you need to waterproof it with some sort of transparent sealant, otherwise i hear it will poison your fish

dont have either lol. i just love rays. and a rtc is my choice in cats. i have a small amazon community tank with a 50/50 actinic bulb. pretty much any bulb that will fit your fixture will properly light up your tank
