I'm not too familiar with all the moonlights out there and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. My tank is the BioCube HQI 29 Gallon.
I have a combo coral, favia, and one of those small hard corals that look like little trees or cacti (forget the species name...they sell them with plugs so you can stick them inside rocks), and 1 clam.
I wasn't sure about the quality of the different moonlights along with what is the appropriate intensity for my tank. I found the following lights so far that appear to be good:

and
http://www.marinedepot.com/Neptune_Systems_Dimmable_Lunar_Simulator_Moon_Light_Fixtures_for_Aquariums-Neptune_Systems-NS9111-FILTFIML-vi.html
The neptune one seems to include a dimmer. Not sure if the r2 one dims (maybe it doesn't need to be dimmed?)
Also, I'm looking for something that connects pretty neatly (doesn't look sloppy with bulky design or cables in the way)
Any suggestions?
