I've never seen a tank illuminated by "Neon Tubes" before...
Would be rather gaudy, I would think! 
Only kidding, wish they did a model for the States. | |

Carful if you are only going to run so many bulbs at first - as evaporation can get into the ballasts of the ones with out bulbs. Cover them up with clingfilm tightly!! - Probably just easier to run all the bulbs! | |
