Bored + SketchUP = AWESOME!!

Lol, like the tank. if you get really bored check out the light up addon for sketchup. You can simulate lights, and import spec's from current bulb, LED's, etc. It can show a Lux reading everywhere it projects to, or just modeled pictures showing the lit area's.

anyways... 1 month free trial, give you one month of crack for aquarium planning in sketchup.

It took a lot of playing around to figure out. Biggest thing is that there's no natural light, well, that I could get working. So if you want ambient lighting, you have to add it in. As for making lights, I originally i just designated a sketchup color as an emitter, and that worked fine, after getting used to it I found it easier to add in emitters using the tool, and it allows you to change the color output based on the color you paint the emitter.
