Lunar Light Question

Hey Everyone,
I recently saw a add for lunar lights from a pop-up here on Fishlore. I was wondering if just one lunar light from this link would be enough?

Also would I need to buy a link as well? Thanks!

What tank are you thinking about adding this to? If it's for your 10 or 29, you'll just need one. If it's for your 55, you'll probably need one and a link as well. Do you have a canopy? The Current USA lunar light is designed to mount inside a canopy, and I'm not sure how you would mount it otherwise. If you browse around on F&S, I believe they have submersible LED lighting if that helps (no issues with mounting). That might be a cool look for a lunar light.

Looks like I got ahead of myself, there is no way I can a lunar light without some kind of a canopy?

Not that kind, unless you can rig it up somewhere inside your light fixture, but I'm not sure how you would do that. Here is a link to the light I was talking about. The page says it's fully submersible. I think you could easily hide the unit behind some decor inside your tank, and it would have a pretty cool nighttime effect.

I have those lights in white in a 20 gallon. I only bought one and it isnt enough for my taste. I havent gotten around to ordering a second with link yet. I dont use it with one as it is just to dim. ( at least with white) For a 20-30 I would go with 2. For a 55 I would go with 4. Actually...I would go with LED Xmas lights next time around.
