Just a few comments on the moonlights. I picked up the Hamilton 36" LED strip to use as moonlights. Two major problems to overcome with these, first they are too bright if placed near the surface of the water, secondly you would think they are easy to mount but that's not the case when using pendants. My solution was to go high for less intensity and I could use the mounting arms with some aluminum channel to make it look neat. I was afraid of casting shadows from the pendants but it worked out quite well with no shadows. I have to say these LED are very cool, they can be bent in any shape and attach easily with the adhesive backing. Here is a pic of the light in action:
