Lunar Light's

I wanted to get lunar lights on my 90 gallon and was wondering how many I need and if there are ceratin one's that are better to buy. I know Neptune probably makes the most expensive but is it worth it.

I have tried the 3/4w lunars, 1w lunars and moontubes.

By far the best moonlights on my 90g are the 1w lunars.

Update:

Dont buy 4 of the 1w lunars. They spread the light WAY more than the 1w lunars built into the Coralife Aqualight Pro.

I bought 4 but its way too bright. Two of them is perfect. They seem to spread the light 2ft wide so if you have a 6ft tank you would need 3.
