moonlight

I have noticed that every night all of my soft corals close up within 10 minutes of the moonlight turning on, and sometimes my hammer coral will close a little too? All of the corals are healthy and growing. Does anyone have any Ideas why this might be occurring? Tank specs: 75g tank 20" sump...

Hi, Ive recently set up my first reef tank. Its a Dennerle 30L Nano reef and it came with a T5 Lighting setup with 1:3 Blue/white ratio. I have a hammer coral and two mushrooms. I currently light my tank for 8 hours a day 2pm - 10pm But would like an LED moonlight I could add to this setup. I...

Hello, Trying to add a moonlight to my tank, currently a 75 gallon with WavePoint HOT5 running for daylight. I've never looked into moonlighting as my old 29 gallon tank's LED lighting system had a build in moon phase. I feel the life in the tank would benefit from this moonlight, however, I'm...

Question- I have a blue moonlight that stays on in my tank at night. The fish seem to gravitate towards it, going to the top center of the tank, under the light. Is this just some natural instinct or is there an oxygen issue? Thanks!

Hi guys, I just started cycling my first reef tank two days ago. I purchased the Orbit Marine LED by Current USA to use for the tank. After programming my lighting hours, everything seems to be working fine but I can't get the moonlight to activate after the sunset mode. I programmed the...

Trying to sell my 72" Current Orbit 3 x 150 watt Metal Halide 4 x 96 watt power compact fixture. All halide work great, but one of the power compacts does not. One of the fans also doesn't work and one can get a little loud. All the moonlights work but the plug in can be tricky and get pushed in...

As the title states, I am looking for some night lighting and wondering what you all use. I was looking at these, but don't know if 400 lumens would be too much. I do like how there is two with this one to split it up. Ideally I would like one that has blue and red, but do NOT want the RGB...

I bought a cleaner shrimp a week ago and he still hides in a cave in my live rock until the moonlight leds come on or when the tank is completely black. He molted yesterday but being he's been hiding all week. I have 2 Ocellaris Clownfish in the tank so he's not in any danger of being a snack...

Ive ordered 2 36 inch deep blue solarmax dual T5s with Led moon lights, was wondering what everyones opinion on this particular lighting system is? I using the two on a 135 gallon 72 inch long Fowlr tanks.

Hey, i dont have any sort of moonlights on my tank and i dont want to shock my fish when all the lights turn on. What kind of moonlights from ebay or DIY ones are good. I also want to make sure that they aren't too bright but you can see somewhat clearly, Thanks

I have a 90-gallon reef tank with Coralife Aqualight Pro fixture containing two 250-watt metal halide lamps, two 96-watt HO actinic lights and four LED lunar lights. The latter lights have been the problem. I searched high and low for replacement lunar lights and came up empty handed. the...

Well, in cleaning one of my filters the other day I made the excellent mistake of accidentally spilling some water on my blue LEDs, my tank is small 22 Liters...about 6 gallons so it isn't a mighty loss of that a large array would be...but I am curious, here in Taiwan getting LEDs made isn't all...

I have a couple relatively general questions about lighting: ~Are the LED's used in LED lighting fixtures just a normal LED or must it be a specific type of LED to allow corals and anemones to photosynthesize? ~I read somewhere that blue LED's can be used for moonlighting, however originally...

I have a Oceanic Biocube 14g and the moonlight LED's will not work. I have replaced the a/c adaptor and the LEd's without success. Should I replace the entire hood? Or is there an easier/cheaper way?:arg:

I just added a submersible LED moonlight to my Reef tank yesterday. I set it up to turn on when my T5's turn off. I was looking at my tank today (night cycle) with the moonlights and the fish seem to be staying awake and moving around. Also not all of my corals are closing up when its...

Hi everyone, I will like to hear your comments regarding the following project. I have some LED strobelights that I could adjust to keep the LED's on all the time. However, the LED's are white LED's. What I'm planning to do is to change them for a blue LED's that I'm almost sure they are at...

So I decided to try those fancy led xmas lights as moon lights on my 300 gal reef, I figured 8 bucks can't go wrong, I even found solar powered ones so I figured great free timer and free energy just put the solar cell where the halides can charge it. Well it worked great last night but I just...

I know that I am stepping in it, but I am looking for suggestions on how to set up the lighting in my tank. I bought a tank on Craigslist. It came with two MH retrofit reflectors, but will need new ballast and possibly a new mogul base (he cut the wires pretty short). I am thinking of getting...
