I am interested, however i was wondering if you thought it would work with my tank. i Have a 24 gallon nanocube, however i have taken the lid off and just use a piece of glass to cover the aquarium, where would i be able to mount the led's?
id love to get some moonlights

The price is great but theres one problem. Moon light is reflected white sun light not blue. After i built the same set up (and not as good a price as yours i must say) i got into a chat with Dr. Sanjay Joshie and he set me straight. I have since corrected the problem and now have white led's and it looks just like moon light.

Natural moonlights wavelenght is right around 470nm, The LEDs I sell are 470nm blue LEDs, White LEDs will not be anywhere near that wavelenght. If you like white then that will work great or if you like blue then that will work great, Its not a problem either way.

Billy,
That's the exact site we have book marked and used.
The lights we're fairly easy to set up just a little time consumming.
But, it works great.
