    love the idea, you could put different colored LED's and make some really trippy lighting effects with a nice controller

    The rocks are hardboard, the same as the background.
    The light I have on it now does change color. I think 7-8 different colors. It's hard to capture in a pic tho, but I'm only using my phone too.

    very cool -- appears to have the potential to do many different things, fill with water and add bubbles with the LEDs would look really cool

    That's pretty badass. I've never seen that done before but it looks good. I can imagine its a lot better in person
