    Im not sure if youll find a "kit" for this.

    But its an Easy one.

    For the qty.....count your bulbs.
    For color, Id recommend Warm White or Sunlight (Comet)
    For Personal taste, Id have a few Natural white to see if you like with the Water.
    For other colors, You may want some Blue in the water...I found them too dark, but I used a couple of Ice blue in color.
    For bulb type, Stay frosted, and use a 1 SMD 5050, or Twin 2835.

    If you wish a few blinking bulbs...no harm.

    Bulbs from all vendors, if at least a 1 SMD Frosted, will do wonders!
    Keep flashers Incandescent.

    I did mine custom essentially as Art describes above but with the addition of a couple of comet matrix strips to fill in some of the dark spots. Will post a pic for you when i get home later.

    Love to see where you put the Strips!

    Here's mine. Done with frosted comet 5050s and twin 2835s in warm white, cool white, ice blue, orange, and (i think) a sunlight or two. Should be fairly obvious what's what.

    Next time i order, I'd like to get a longer CW strip to replace the lower right one (comet was out of stock on the 8in for awhile). Also, maybe a 4in WW one for the upper left too.

    Count how many sockets you have, order enough comet warm white to fill only 2/3 of the sockets, install them.
    That way it wouln't be sop bright it reflects or distracts from the bottom

    I just used 3 comet cool white strips for mine. Nice and bright and easy to install.
