Moon light too bright?

In your opinion would this moon light be too bright for clown loaches?

All the reiews sound great, except for the holders. But no one mentions if they own nocturnal fish & how they like.

i think they would be fine for your tank, even with the blue light i can't see them being that bright.

Thanks Mick...
Wonder if it will work with a dual timer?

I use a single 1 Watt children secure lamp. I payed US$ 3.00 each:
Effect is great!

I have their Signature Series in my 75G, my clowns are impervious. Posted a pic a while back, when I had first installed the lights - my tank is totally different now (lots more wood and plants and abn's!) but this gives an idea of the effect albeit a little enhanced with the photoshop... I love 'em!
I have mine plugged into a dual timer- you just have to be aware of the DC adapter and its size when considering what it will plug in to...

greenbaron, thank you for referencing your earlier post. I was very happy to be able to see what the lighting will look like on my tank, as we have the same size tank. I was told today about getting a free photobucket account & tat way linking the pics directly to your posts. I would love to see your tank the way it looks now.
Emma...saw how you had recommended greenbaron a larger tank in the future for his clowns. If I was planning to have say 10 clown loaches...
How many of the below, in your opinion, would I be able to add:
2 kubs
1 iridescent shark (I could live without him if I had to)
5 cardinal tetras
5 black neon tetras
5 rummy nose tetras
1 pleco
1 blue crayfish
