Coralife 250 watt HQI fixture moonlights.
 
Just a pic of the tank with the moonlights in this fixture. (A little on the bright side IMO.)

Not sure if I like them. Does anyone have an opinion on if they're too bright to simulate moonlight?

They are a little on the bright side, but I think that's fine. Also, I think if the unit is mounted with the legs, then it's not really too high off the surface of the water... so it would give more penetration and more of a spotlight look. This is why I think hanging the unit would be better... so (all) lights can illuminate throughout the tank better. JMO :smile:

This pic is with the light hanging 10" above the tank.

hmm,

Well, I'm not sure what to suggest... maybe they will dull after the initial break-in? I am not sure. Hopefully it doesn't drive you too crazy.

Maybe I'll just disconnect two of them. :)

Maybe a little vaseline on the lens?

You just gave me an idea! Thanks!! :)

If I don't get used to it after a while...... I'l just tint the lenses with something after a while.

Hey, there's a good idea.
