Lunar ligths
i was looking at liveaquaria.com..reading about different kinds of ligthing for aquariums and i found out about lunar ligths...it says:"Nocturnal light influences fish, coral, and reef activity just as much as sunlight. Adding a powerful, blue LED light to your aquarium allows you to observe nocturnal behavior of reef or freshwater creatures without disturbing them"."Moonlight triggers various internal and external biological activities among the many thousands of reef organisms. Many corals continue to grow under moonlight conditions and some begin the reproductive process". i found the article very interesting and was thinking about buying one...does anyone has experience with it?? any opinion and advice will be apreciated..thanks..

Re: Lunar ligths
I have them on my tank and love 'em. They allow us to enjoy our tank after the lights go out and they do have a good benefit to the tank. Depending where your tank situated - at night it could be completely dark. In the wild there are very few times of complete darkness - this helps simulate that. I don't run mine all night as my tank is near natural light as well.. but the corals do seem to like it. My Xenia will pulse quite a bit at night.. sometimes more than I see them during the day.
plus - it's fun to see which corals glow at night....

Re: Lunar ligths
I have lunar lights too, Ad is right, you see a lot of different things at night that you don't see during the day.

Re: Lunar ligths
Yep and there cheap through live aquaria you can get the one with the adapter and links I paid 20 dollars for mine and it works and looks great. Just remember "suggested spacing" is1 for every two feet of tank.

Re: Lunar ligths
Yeah,Moon lights look awesome,and you can watch the night critters.But I doubt that they actually influnce the reproductive behaviour,as the moon is only one part of the equation.
But heck yeah,you need moon lights. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 125gal SPS tank in the works Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2+ Other Intrests: Hunting,camping,fishing
