I think it looks just as bright, or its not noticeable to me anyways. On a side not in a month my bottom of my tank is already 33% covered with Coraline algae.

that is one of my intentions when I set up the 40 gal tank. Some one has to try it I don't like the idea of epoxying it to a cutting board as that will leave cracks for crap to fall in and it will be hard to get it out. I might try a slate bottom but I am not sure yet.
