thinking of installing some aquarium moon lights?

I'm talking about the small LED's that go in the tank. do fish that its basically lights off and go as they would if the lights were out? eg Synodontis catfish that sort of thing? There is also a way to make yourself as the old Christmas lights?

That is roughly how it works. night-light influences fish, corals, and other activities, as well as sunlight. The addition of these "Moonlights" (hence the name) lets you view night without disturbing residents. I like your idea of DIY Christmas lights, but I think it will give what you want. LED companies do, they lay down colors that penetrate the water column, giving better "moonlight." Browse all on eBay, there all kinds of cheap lunar lights.
