Can you take a photo of the LEDs on the tank so we can see the overall effect.

Great idear the moonlight thing allows you to enjoy your fish after lights out.

You could possibly mount the bulbs inside yor main light with some silcone or double sided tape.

hope it's ok to post it here.
i made my night lighting for my 3 footer by mounting 2 x cold cathodes into an existing reflector and use similar to a phone charger for the 12vlt powersuppy, but the voltage can be increased or decreased to make the lights brighter or darker, very easy to do and gives a nice effect over the whole length of the tank. it's a bit hard to get a good photo but this gives u an idea what it looks like,
