It is just a fact however that tank maintenance is or should be done topless, right Dan :redface:

Ha, I loved watching the "LED lights to boob transition". It's kinda like playing the internet version of telephone...

I dunno about you guys but I am a huge supporter of DIY, especially with LEDs (mostly because I am a poor PhD student with several expensive hobbies). They are sooooo cheap and easy to work with. You can usually put together some pretty cool things for dirt cheap just using yer noggin'. I added a couple LEDs of different types in a strip so that I could get a few of my corals which did not flouresce under my regular moonlighting to shine like diamonds (I'm never home during daylight hours so I wanted something cool to come home to). As an experiment, I've also made them match the lunar cycle... it's supposed to promote coral breeding. Then again, I'm a nerd...

But to answer your question, there are many bigger moonlights you can add. I am a big fan of the units that can be daisy-chained together as it makes set up super easy. As for enough light, I'm not sure if there is an "enough light" when in comes to moonlights but I do think there is a "too much". I've found that some of my corals in both of my tanks won't put out their feeders until the moonlights are off for the night and it's dark. So having too much might be a bad thing.
