I use the Tunze Multicontroller to contol the Tunze Stream pumps. The Multicontroller has a light sensor on it so it can tell when the lights are on or off and controls the pumps in accordance. The end of the light sensor has a small white LED that acts as a moonlight, and it follows some sort of moonlight schedule - sometimes it is quite bright, other times it is very dim. I have it pointed so it goes diagonally through the tank from the back right corner to the front middle. The fish don't gather around it, in fact they all disappear and go to bed when the T5s start to dim.
