My first setup

[treaux]

These are the LEDs I have (essentially): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01461MJYS

They are multi-color and attach with adhesive, though I used Loctite Power Grab to really secure them because my snake kept pulling them down.

As for substrate, I am using paper towels for now, but plan on ordering dimpled kraft paper as well. The dimpled is nice because it adds some texture. You can get a huge roll that's 2' wide, making it easy to just use one strip of it in a T8. I also found it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LN9MS6 and this to hold the roll: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MDLZK0

Absolutely agree with your on the dimple kraft paper. The texture was another reason I was sold on it. Thanks for the link....gotta love amazon right!

Does that light setup have a low color moonlight effect? I've seen people use them in FW tanks and they are pretty bright in some colors but never see all the colors options.

I'm not sure as my LED kit doesn't have as many colors as the one I linked. I'm not sure what color a "low moonlight effect" is, but it seems that with the range of colors shown there and being able to control the brightness, you should be able to achieve it.

Another thing you can do it apply a tint film over a blue led. Any major car company (lumix is the best in my opinion) that does tail light tint film will work. They have all different shades of darkest and you can find the best match for the color output you want.
