LED Question?

[Craigdillman]

This is just me but I've always been a believer that you should let the tank sleep at night no moon lights just off unless you like the look of the tank with the lights on, After a 12 hour Photoperoid with the par 38s I really don't think the corals are using the moon lights at night and I feel that to simulate their natural environment there should be a period of dark

but that is just my 2 cents, but if you didn't run the moon lights you could take the other fixture down and probably clean up your look

But to answer you question i don't think you'll have any negative effects either way i just don't think its needed

Yah agree with above poster, the moon light thing is somewhat a myth... Especially if you're using 8. If you see the ocean at night it's fairly dark even with full moon. Especially if its deeper like 15-20 meters the moon light doesn't penetrate the depth well. I use to run moon lights and haven't botherd in 4 years.
