Anyone have Ideas for Moon lights?
I have a 4' TEK Light and want to know what I should do to add moonlights.
I have seen those cheap Marina ones at pet stores and don't know if thats good enough, or if there is an affordable way to do it differently. If someone has a DIY design that they have actually used or seen in operation, I am open to this as well. Thanks, Patrick

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have been planning on making a bunch of 3W blue LED spotlights to highlight some of my super glowy colonies at night. I'm going to join Milad's next LED group buy and pick up some of those RB Crees and make some nice housings. I'm planning on making them mount on the edge of the tank with a small lamp. Maybe talk to Grizz; I know he's a welder but he might be able to machine some nice housings for the LEDs and optics?

I have a couple of set of DIY moon light that I have been thinking of selling. They are brand new, never used. If interested I will dig them out and send you a pic of them and explain how to install in to your fixture.

moonlights
you dont need 3 watt crees for moonlights-led wheat bulbs will do with a 4 watt transformer run in a series-you want it dim-not bright-you have to simulate night time.i picked up a diy kit off ebay for $10-includes everything for 12 bulbs.but now i have the vertex they are just sitting in a drawer-maybe for my breeding tanks
