Default Moonlights. Which ones?

Hi all,

Just curious if any of you guys and gals use moonlights on your tanks? It annoys me when my lights go off at night and I want to look at my fish still ( I know I could just change light hours).

Does anyone use moonlights and/or which ones would you recommend? I have a 75gal reef tank.

I have looked at everything from eBay setups, stunner strips and everything in between but still cant decide.

Thanks
Dunc

Good Day:

I added an EcoPico LED Strip - 453nm Blue
This is an additional EcoPico LED strip in 453nm Blue (Royal Blue)

to my JBJ 28 Gallon tank. I have it come on before the main lights go off and it stays on for a couple hours. It really lights up the tank.

You buy the light, 12 Volt transformer and I think you can up to three on one.

I use the true lumen moonlight add on available through goreef and they work awesome. Also a fair price.

We sell a lot of EcoPico for moonlights.




They have double sided tape on the back so you can just stick them in place or screw them in. Can also get a dimmer and set them to the intensity you want if you think they are to bright.
