I would not leave it on all night if it is that bright, but rather use it to provide a period of intermediate lighting.

My light only has 2 moonlight and I already find that on the edge of being too bright. I close it at midnight but I leave a small light in the room.

60 led is a bit too bright I think to leave it on all night.

I just bought the above fiji sun T5 fixture. I got really excited by the LEDs, other makes had only 4 or so LEDs for moon light and thought "more is better". There are 30 blue LEDs down each side for a total of 60!!! I have the fixture on a light controller (coralife power center) that has the daylights on from 10 am to 6 pm., actinics on from 8 am to 8pm and the LEDs "moonlights" on from 8pm to 8 am.
I'm new to reef keeping and looking at the light in the tank think the LEDs are way too bright! Nobody will get any sleep! Any thoughts? Is the moonlight really that bright out on the reek?
