If you have any car audio stores in your area (ones that only deal in car audio) check them out. They usually sell led light tubes in different lengths and colors. All you'll need is a ac adapter at 12vdc

Theaters use a colored film on stage lights bought at a party store. I think its just called: stage light film or stage light filters. Cheap as hell yet the blue is very dark under an aquarium light exactly like moon light. I use to get some from this theater i volunteered at to create all types of light effects in the tank. U can mix colors up just by cutting squares of it to fit under the light in different sections. I have a pic of what i did on fb, ill dig it up real quick.

I found it . Leds are good too but if ur looking for cheap (like under 5$ cheap), its very stunning what you can do with out them.

Hi can you tell me how and what you used to make your 3d background in your tank.

I went to the local auto parts store. It's a little strip of blue LED's, it was bright so I taped 3 and only left 1. It was about 20 bucks.

I have it set on the left on my canopy, it give a spotlight effect like the moon is breaking through the water surface. I don't use it often though.. I can't get into the whole moonlight thing yet but I tried.

I have a little video on my YouTube channel.

LOL, I hear ya Convict. My tank being planted limits the lights to 6 hours. So, for me it's free viewing time. Plus, my 5 yr lil girl really likes it which sells it for me alone.

I u take a little steel wool to it, that will diffuse the light. Do a little at a time until you get the effect you want.
