Sunlight Used to Light Aquariums

[Big Blue]

I was just wondering if anyone else had a fascination with trying to use sunlight as a main lighting source. I would love to hear about anyone with a tank setup that receives a great deal of light from the sun. How has this worked out for you? Do you see any benefits and what are the drawbacks? Any pictures would be great!
