Default Greens! =)

Another idea to have a pond outside or on a porch.
I've kept two natural sunlight tanks but this tough sometimes.
Getting enough light is tough, it you have a greenhouse or a sun room
this is great. I've added CO2 to these tanks and they faired okay. But
if the tank only gets 1-2hours a day etc, it's not going to do too
well unless there's lots of indirect light. A hybrid light set up
which uses some PC lights along with mostly sun light is a good
method. Deep substrates were used.

Thermoelectric chillers(no freon!!Your car, home and frig next!),
solar fiber optic lighting/passive solar designs, PC lights, water
usage(No need for RO and wastewater etc, using it water the plants
around the yard garden etc). While some are cheaper, a few are not.
But they are headed that way, there is no denying that.

That's the cool thing about conservation/environment, its a great
market and it reduces operating costs. It's a win win for both the
consumer and therefore ultimately the companies/market. Adding less
impact on the environment is even a better sale.
