So I have been playing with a few different things to try and create a somewhat natural "moonlight" nightlight and wanted to start a topic to see what others are doing and show off what I have done! 
:
I am currently running a LED pond light that I have kicking around tucked at and angle up into the reflector area of my flourecent fixture. The best thing about doing it this way is that you get a direct light pattern that reflects and moves as the top of the water moves... looks real. Downfall is I think I spent a boatload on this pondlight ~$100
Some fish are so much more active at night, my upside down catfish hides behind my powerhead all day then as soon as I turn the main lights off he is out on the hunt and a blast to watch.
The big Idea I am working on now invloves a 9LED flashlight, and one of those solar powered optic switched landscaping lights. This tank is near a window and the idea of the nightlight being self sustaining and switched by natural light makes my happy.
More to come, what have you guys/gals done?
