All aquariums have a daylight system. These must be turned off at night for your fish to experience normal day/night cycles. The problem is you can't see your fish! The R2 Moonlight replicates moonlight in a tank and creates a great ambiance at night in your aquarium for viewing your fish (a beautiful, blue, shimmering, moonlight ambiance in the room) and is healthy for your fish as it mimics the light of the moon which influences feeding and spawning behavior. The wavelength of the R2 Moonlights provides optimal viewing for an ideal natural nighttime environment for aquarium fish, invertebrates and photosynthetic corals.The R2 Moonlight Dual Extreme, same light as the R2 Extreme Moonlight but with 2 lights for double the coverage! Each unit covers approximately 3 feet of tank (The Dual Extreme covers 6 feet of tank space!) but each tube only measures 4 inches in length! It is extremely versatile and cost effective! Our Moonlight tube is designed to produce a 120 by 60 degree illumination by utilizing extremely bright ultra blue LEDS. Installation is a breeze.... simply use the included brackets and double sided tape to mount the unit then angle the moonlight as you desire.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great Performance, Medium Value
I have a 55gal freshwater tank with a lot of rare fish that are entirely nocturnal, so I ordered this set in order to watch them at night. The light output on them is surprisingly good for only having a total of 10 LED's (I think its either 5 or 6 in each) and it give the water a nice shimmer (note you can only get shimmer if the surface of the water is disturbed, in my case by my power heads and filters). They are easy to install as well. The two problems I have that kept me from giving these a full five stars are:
1. For the price, I really feel like these should come with reflectors. The LEDs are simply on a circuit board floating in glass, so that you get a significant amount of light going to the sides and top. I originally used aluminum foil to counter this, but it kept falling off when I opened the glass and I finally just gave up. I have a hood so that you can't tell that the light is leaking, but it wastes some of the luminosity, and if you don't have a hood...

Just what I was looking for
These LED's are great.
I have a 80 gallon Cichlid tank (5' long) with 3 of these installed. 2 just didn't quite have enough effect for me.
The look of it is very impressive if you have water surface agitation, as it will shimmer on the bottom.
I've had these for a few months and they're good so far. They will work with a timer if you want.
All my fish are more active at night now, and 2 of them mated for the first time only days after I put these lights in.
My freshwater lobster also started coming out at night and exploring.
It's nice to see the aquarium life at night, and everybody in the tank seems happier now.
Apparently having moonlight is a much more vital part of aquarium life than most of us think.
If you are thinking of getting these, DO NOT HESITATE.
Moonlight fix
I have recently changed my lighting system on my 76 gallon Oceanic half round saltwater tank. The light I am using is LED and it has great coverage. However there was not separate plugs for the day and night lights. This caused problems because I have been on a timer for years, and trying to remember to turn off and on the lights everyday was next to impossible. I purchased these lights to use for my moon effect. The R2 Dual Extreme lights have been the perfect compliment to my tank. I am now able to have both light systems on a timer for worry free lighting. The lighting output is just right for my size tank. I highly recommend these lights.
