Advice for a Moon light in 150 gallon tank
 

I love the effect my small moonlight gives off generated from the Tunze controller. Is this little diode enough light though, in general, for my fish and coral and are there more larger lights I could use.
Thanks.

Though I'm not sure how big your canopy is.

These are smaller:

You should be grounded for that one

Hey I offered real help later =) Lol.

Brett you're a lunartic! :lol:

look who's talking!

I use the R2 Dual Extreme Moonlights. These are very bright and come with mounting brackets. I got mine at Mail Order Pet Supplies (MOPS) http://www.mops.ca/cgi-bin/SoftCart....f1b+1262643890. They are inexpensive and well built.

"Moi?" Leah, you must be mistaking me for someone else.
I don't swear; I don't drink; I don't take the Lord's name in vain; I don't talk about my wife's boobies on an open forum; and I definitely don't spray return-line crap all over my wife........(twice)

I've got both the Dual Extreme Moonlights and the PowerBrites that Brett mentioned. Both are pretty good but the Dual Extremes are much easier to mount. Can't go wrong with either of them IMO.

No mistake on my part. And boob talk on a forum is just wrong. :redface:
It is just a fact however that tank maintenance is or should be done topless, right Dan :redface:

What are you two talking about? You certainly have my attention.

All right, All right! You got me. I do all those bad things and I am a lunatic.:redface:

Your learning hehehe:mrgreen:

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.
