I recently picked up a UV flashlight kit and it came with glasses. I am going to run some UV dye through my trucks air system to find a leak with the flashlight and glasses. My blue lights are on right now and I wondered what they would look like in the glasses. All I can say is WOW! It makes everything GLOW!!! The pictures do not do them any justice.

I recommend picking up some glasses to see what I mean.

A couple before glasses and after pictures

Ok I clicked the link and am ready to buy but noticed that in the second picture even the corals that aren't being shown through the glasses look way brighter... Your not a uv glasses salesman are you?;)

Ha no. At $5 a pair I doubt I would make a living. The pictures do not do it justice. The glasses help pull out the brightness of the colors illuminating from the actinic and UV light. My corals already pop with the blue lights by themselves. I was just taken back how much more with the glasses.

Also what is cool is I can see the Coraline algae better. I just moved my tank a month ago so it is still not too happy. I put about 60lbs of dry rock into the tank. I can see the start of Coraline algae on the new rocks that I cannot see without the glasses.

The Condy Anemone in the middle is awesome through the glasses. I will get a better pic tonight. You can kinda see it through the first two pics. It is radioactive neon green through the glasses.

Looks nice. Never would of thought to try that.

Sold. Most important is how cool you look while wearing them.

It's funny but I was contemplating wearing them next time I go to my LFS. I swear they run 100% blues and 10% whites.
