Lighting - Moonlights

Simply Cheap DIY Moonlight (Not in English) - [Details]

After spending a considerable amount of time online doing all sorts of research on moonlights, I realized that if I wanted a moonlight, I wanted it to act as real moonlight, not just bluish light on my tank at night time. Over the years I like many others set up cheap-o moonlights with 15W blue party bulbs you can get at you local convenience store. I kept that setup for about 2 weeks about 2 years ago. My fish acted restless during that time and seeing it was the only thing that had changed, I went back to what it was like originally, just pitch black at night. - [Details]

Just thought I'd share my DIY moonlight experience in with mod's I made to my 4 foot lighthood. - [Details]

Browsing through the forum here, I'd seen more than a few posts that talked about using a blue light source to create a "moonlight effect" in the aquarium. The idea of adding this artificial "moonlight" to my aquarium intrigued me for several reasons: the aesthetic value, the additional viewing time it would offer, and the fact that it would help to more smoothly transition from light to dark. After reading as many posts as I could find on the topic, I found out that there were a number of different ways to do moonlighting, the two most popular being cold cathode tubes and light emitting diodes or LEDs. - [Details]

I have been searching for suitable moonlights for my reef for quite a while, well the search is over. Jamie got me revved up last week with some moonlights that were available through Singapore Reef Club and these were the same ones that I had been thinking of importing from Premium Aquatics in the U.S. I was a bit hesitant as seeing the pictures of them over a few overseas reefers tanks they looked a bit bright for my needs. - [Details]
