Yeah I've got some IP68 rated colour changing LED strip lights. At the moment they come with their own basic controller but I'm going to cut that off and hook it up to a proper DMX controller with a wall mounted and wifi controlled pad :-)

You set that waterfall to full speed and you will be able to use that as one of those swimming treadmills

Now I have to ask this even though might have missed something....

Won't making it black inside make it too dark to see anything?

I've been filling it from the hot tap with gas and immersion heater on for the last 5 hours so taking longer than it should!
