I doubt that they will freak out and die. I don't think that you want to disturb the water on the surface so much that it will splash alot though. That can just make a huge salty mess.

not a problem. think about the amount of waves in the ocean and the sunlight hitting them. as long as the water stays in the tank nothing to worry about. besides a lot of people really like the light waves dancing along the tank.

something else to think about. Next time you throw a party, just crank up the lights and you have an instant disco party. Just add music, and maybe some beer. Well ok, alot of beer.
