I am looking for a moon light setup as well as underwater led's. the lfs wants a pretty penny for them so i was wondering where else you guys recomend. Any link would be great or if you have some used ones that will work also.


Thanks

They sell moonlights at Princess Auto for about $10.  They are non submersible and are considered safety lights.  Pretty much are the exact same moonlights you see on ebay, however they also have a strobe settings.  I saw them in flyer again about 2-3 weeks ago and I think they were about 8"-10" long each. 

I checked the website and they dont have them there anymore but I'm sure the local store still has them.  They are not just a regular strip, but instead are a strip of led's mounted inside a glass tube with power supply connected.

Underwater LEDs should be a fairly simple DIY project. It's one of many on my to do list. Since LEDs are low voltage and already waterproof, you'll only have to worry about waterproofing the connections you make. Those connections must be 100% watreproof though because even fresh water will conduct electricity. You can use thin enough wire that it would be almost invisible too. As for the moonlights, I have a thread started in The Lounge with all the gory details.
