ok, I just did this........you need a 3 volt power source, some blue LED's, a soldering iron, silicone, and a way to mount them. here is how I mounted them.........about every foot or so.

by the way, that was mounted on Lexan that I bent with a #10 hole drilled in it for the bulb and superglued to the canopy................here the bulb sits slightly in the water, but JUST THE BULB, NOT THE CONNECTOR!!!!!!!!! if the bulb is out of the water it causes a "beam" in the water and that wasn't the effect I wanted. in the water produces a more even look............be sure to have a ground on your tank just incase the wiring gets submerged (even though it's low voltage), and silicone the wires after soldering

for neetness, I drilled and routed the wired inside my canopy, and got a connector..........

all in all it cost me about 30 bucks and 2 hours for 4 lights.........be sure to look around your house for a power supply first, that was the most expensive part..........about half the total cost..........here is the final result (kind of a bad pic, I borrowed a camera)
