put a pice of courgette in the tank and at night they will come out to feed.

Weight it down with some plant lead weight.

Of course that will not work with plecos that are carnivores.

I have a moonlight kit in my 4ft tank and it does wonders for watching the fish at night - very worthwhile

Of course, don't be spending stupid money on the actual moonlight kits, simply buy a blue cold cathode and
make a DIY kit. More satisfying and a lot cheaper!!!

There's a topic in the DIY section for moonlights, too.
ah here it is: Cold Cathode Moon Light
