I like to leave, or would like to leave, a light on in the tank at night, is there a good maybe light bar, or something in the uv blue spectrum that would imitate moonlight, or at least not disrupt the fish too much?

Blue LED lights are suppose to simulate moonlight, as long as you dont have a ton of them it shouldnt, lights that come with moonlight on them usually have 4 blue LED's i would start there and if you wanted to add more or take some away and only do 2 it would be a good starting point

Awesome! I had planned to get a light bar ( one of the airscape deals that light bubbles) and bury just the light toward the back of the tank.

Yeah blue LEDs. Search the DIY section for :typeyourtexthere"'s DIYmoonlight thread : DIY Moonlight . It tells you how to make it yourself. I did it and it was super easy, I used 3 LEDs for my 29 gallon tank. Here is a really bad pic of my tank with the moonlights on. It looks really cool in person, you wont be dissappionted!
