Submersible moonlights?

an awesome place for the submersable lights is pointing up near an air stone. The bubbles refract the light so it looks kinda like a cloud
 
thats too many lights. 15?!? you are better off using 4 spaced out across your hood. it'll look better. leds are bright, and with that setup youd be lighting up the tank too much
 
I've heard you shouldn't light from the bottom cause it bothers the fish? is that true?

Never really thought of that. I do know my angels will always angle themselves towards the light. If I pull the lightstrip off the tank and lean it against the tank they sort of swim on a strange angle.
 
I think moon lights are interesting to look at fish that usually only come out at night. It's fun to see their antics. I have a Marina led light, which comes in blue, red, green, and white. I have the blue, as I think it looks more natural. As to the light affecting the fish, I notice my lemon tetra swimming at a slightly off angle as well. I have mine on the outside, right-hand side of my aquarium angled up so that the light hits the top of the water and dissperses back down to light up the rest of the tank. This way it looks more natural, because I don't have a "spotlight" effect where the light is focused on one thing.

That's a good idea. I think I'm going to do that. My led is pointing down and looks like a spot light.
