[ramsey]

Do they make a moonlight for a 10gal or a 18in hood lamp "florsent" cause i really like the color the make the tank a night plus to see my fish at night.

I believe coralife makes clip-on moonlights in 3/4 watt or 1 watt versions for $16-30.

You can buy them on many sites a famous auction site has them or you can search google and buy instructions or find free instructions on how to make your own.

I use three of the 100 degree triple led lights that I got from Autolumination they are $5.00 each and all you reed is a 12 volt transformer. Also they are waterproof

Will this work for a moonlight setup "I made the design". I dont no you you will be able to see the pic very well.

 

[djultra]

It depend on the transformer and led. I assume that in the picture you are running the lights in series.

 

[ramsey]

Yes and also if that dont work I no how to setup lights differnt ways to

You can buy individual moonlights very cheap at most fish websites. They are just plug and play no need for a transformer just a power strip.
I put 4 - 3/4 watt lights on my 150 (6ft long) and they look great

You can buy everything needed at your Local Radio Shack. All you do is Buy LED's I just ordered 4 said all he could get was 430nm but that will work. Get the plugs for them ask they should be able to get them as well. Just wire the plugs into a 12volt car charger and plug in.

anyone have pics of there tank with moonlights on?

 

[ramsey]

Well I just did what I put up in the pic but I just used christmas lights and it puts out a nice glow but it makes the tank creepy like thow

 

[djultra]

I see that you put Christmas tree lights up. Are you trying to light the tank at night to see or are you trying to emulate the moon cycle. If the moon cycle is what your after the lights need to be blue at 470nm. I'm not sure if the Christmas tree lights do that.

Here's a nice shot of my scolymia under moon lights (No photoshop)

 

[ramsey]

I just used the christmas lights "stole them off the strand of lights" just to see what they would look like and also like I said it makes the tank look creepy like.
