What is your upgrade? I have a Sunpod on a 10 gallon and it has 12 built in moonlights. I have them on a timer to turn off around 2am because they're bright enough to keep everyone awake.
I've had good luck with the Current USA ones. Nothing too fancy, the price is right, and they're extensible (not that you need that on the nano).
See http://www.marinedepot.com/lighting_moonlight_moon_lunar_lamp_current_usa-ap.html">this link</a>, although you can find them several places locally.

Only con is that they're a little TOO bright for some tanks, but you can add a piece or two of scotch tape to tame it down some.

Lee,
I don't know how waterproof any of them are, actually?
I use the R2 Extreme LED Moonlight on all my setups. The single one is on sale for $29.99 direct from the manufacturer. I would call them water resistant, but not waterproof. They only come in blue, and they are very bright.
Dual:

Yeah man sure thing. You can apparently put 12 total in line for one wall plug. Not too shabby. Depending on how "bright" you may want your moonlight...the links that Dave posted are to some really really good moonlights. I've seen them in person and they are awesome! But like I said, just a little too much for my size tank. Once I get it in, I'll slap it in and snap a pic for ya. I only bought 1....I didn't really think I needed any more...guess we'll see.
XM 20K 70W HQI. I may decide to put in an 18W actinic PC...not sure though. This isn't a full blown reef tank, just something for the babies room. Right now it has 2 nems, 2 clowns, 1 neon goby and a jaw fish....and some random zoas. Not really going to do too much more with it. I'll post a pic ones of these day.
