I have an Aqualight Pro with the 4 LED moonlights. It is actually fairly bright and OOOOHHH the colours are so beautiful.

OH cool, mine is about a billion years old (well okay maybe 4 or 5) and I just run it because the double faced tape its attached with is pretty damned strong and I couldn't pry it off the hood (I think I may have supplemented it with crazy glue ).

I'll call mine a more "subtle" cool then

Well then I'm sure that your frag's would be far happier in my tank. When would you like me to come over and get them?

I recently just purchased some moonlights for my tank, it came with a niffty 29.5 day timer which goes through the moon cycle from full moon to new moon, it doesnt shut the lights off it just dims them until there is no moon then gradually increases the intensity back up to full moon pretty niffty little gadget, i really enjoy watching the reef at night!
