think on a bigger scale like not only cordless but see through and the levitating part is easy you just take the fans install them underneath the fixture now it cools your tank and leveitates;)

ok so heres my prototype so far:


its a led light fixture it has a built in skimmer and reactors , it hovers so no suspended wires or legs,it has a built in feeders,temp control,water tests.it has a auto top off that doubles as a "rain simulation" it has lightning and powerheads facing down to simulate a hurricane. it drops little led modules that cruise the top of the tank spreading light throughout then get sucked back up before night with magnets. the fixture is made from clear acrylic and is wireless.the fixture is solar powere3d and powers its self during the day off its own light.the fixture has a built in camera for top down shots and has a video camera with night vision for catching night time critters in action.

all under the price of a radion;)
