Can you supply more details on this? Where to purchase how to deploy etc? The use of Optical fibers to capture and redirect light to plants during the day is an interesting concept.

Algae became a problem in my case when it started growing in the fish tank and consuming the fish waste, the plants started showing the deficiency of nutrition. I used a vaccume filter to remove all the algae and added freshwater clams (which consume algae as a biological filter) in the fish tank that helped removal of algae and plants started showing healthy sign again.

How can we buy it - more importantly, how can we sell for you? I live in a tropical country on the equator. Please email me more details! Thank you very much.
