The invention provides a control system of an aquarium illuminating system, wherein a motor driver changes the relative inclination degrees of light sources related to ornaments in an aquarium with the passage of time, so that incident light falling onto the ornaments more accurately simulates natural light of the sun which moves every day and moves seasonally. Besides relative change of the inclination degrees, the power setting of the light sources can be further adjusted so as to further simulate the effect caused by changes of climates and / or weather every day. Therefore, the system eliminates regions filled with excessive light (the light further can promote growth of unnecessary algae) from the light sources erected in a single fixed position in the aquarium, and saturation of the excessive light means that light from the light sources in the single fixed position penetrates downward into the deep part of the aquarium. By providing the system which effectively changes the angle of incidence of light, a programmable illuminating level can be obtained in the outward regions of ornaments or the regions below bumps, which can not be realized by the erected light sources in the single fixed position.
