I like the ability to look in on the tank at night and check on all my critters.

I originally got mine because something ate my frogspawn. Turned out it was a horrible worm that looked like a centipede. I never saw it till I had moonlights up.
Now, I like looking at my tank at night, it is the only time I see my serpent star eat. The new growth of coraline glows under the moonlights like a blacklight effect, really cool.
I paid $35.00 a piece for those goose neck type moonlights. Now I have a moonlight strip, which only cost $40.00. I can't direct the light the way I could with the gooseneck ones but it still looks awesome.
I recommend them!

Yep, mine used to look that nice.
The little necks go limp and just hang there, (they do just pop back into place, over and over again). After you twist on them enough over time they kind of get where they are stiff and not want to manipulate easy anymore.
The LED strips work much better and they are cheaper. One strip that covers the whole tank, cost the same as one goose neck type. I needed 4 or 5 to cover my 48' 90g.

Mine are built into the hood system, way to go IMO or like the above pic.
I just bought retrofit MH lighting, they did not come with moonlights, this was the best I could get. They work great, but it takes up space and I have to move them out of my way when I service the tank.
