Unless you have something that spawns based of moon phases that seems like overkill.

My preference would be to have the moonlights on late evening when the lights are out and someone might actually be in the room regardless of whether the moon is out or not. The moonlights could be off after 2 AM - 6 AM because there is rarely someone in the room at that time.

Of course it is overkill. No reason not to do it, though!

I've also been searching for a lunar cycle controller. I think the Aquatronica will be able to do this in the near future. The fishbowlinnovations controller will only work with their lights (blue). I want to do it with white LEDs, otherwise I would have purchased that already.

I leave mine on all night - the room is pretty dark without them. With a big carpet Anemone, I feel better giving the fish a little light to see it and stay out of it...
