Lights Are Hung And 100% Complete!!
Here's a shot with the moonlights on (sorry about potato quality, the lights are on very dim so the camera didn't have much to work with):
Top left-hand corner is the Jarduino controller (not in its final position, just sitting there so the lights could work). It ramps the moonlights up and down based on the phase of the moon on the current date and time, it's awesome. Currently it's a first quarter, 58.4% of full illumination. In person it's a very dim, soft royal blue colour. Barely enough to make out details in the tank, but not so bright that the inhabitants think it's daytime.
Also, the Lumia 5.2 pucks put out a fucking STUPID amount of light. I'm not likely to ever drive them past maybe 2/5 to 1/2 of their full brightness, for "high noon" brightness. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to build lights.
