Jugger, thanks for the info. I have my LED's pointed directly into the water. Turning them to face the reflector might turn this into a whole different ballgame where I will be less hesitant to use them.
I'd also like to know if you are using blue, white or red LED's. I currently have the blue but am thinking the white or red may be less intrusive on fish sleep cycles. Input anyone?
sorry for the slow reply.... im using the blue...but i have red and green and they look like crap....nothing in the tank glows with the red and green and they are all so alot brighter....but like i said i havent noticed any difference with my coral and fish since i put them on.... my 6 line still spins a web in the same place every night... i also think ***** has them.... thats where i got mine.. and walmart didnt have them

Would love to see a pic of the whole tank.

when i get a tripod i will....the camera has to sit there for a long time because the shutter speed open like 20 seconds..... but damn the orange and red corals are so intense

i called around looking for them. not only did ***** not stock em, the idiots hadn't even heard of them. the only place i could find them was at pet-town's tropical fish store. this place is huge.

hmm I wonder why the walmart supercenter here has them.. usually they are the last to have anything to do with aquaria. I'll check to see if we still have them, as I saw them there a couple months ago.

 

[jugger]

awesome good luck there....just one thing though.... when i bought mine they came with one green and one blue light....so i had to buy an extra blue...they also sell the LEDs seperate

i just got off the phone with miracle beam and they said that they need to update their site because walmart no longer carries their products. i asked if i can order directly from them but they're strictly wholesale. he said the best bet was to go to *****'s website so i'm gonna go check it out....

WOW that's real nice...Im thinkin of going for live rock in my 155 also...How much live rock and live sand do you have in there?? thx

 

[purity]

well i finally found a place that stocks every miraclebeam product online at pretty good prices (considering how much pet-town raped me for the stupid lil moon light i bought on saturday). i'd post the link but i don't want the mods to get butthurt for me linking competitors stuff. if i get a greenlight then i'll post it.

[jugger]

last

 

[peejfish]

do you think a black lite would affect these??...and about these moonlites...don't you think a small tall tank of jellyfish would look cool with these? i doo...know where i can get jellyfish anyone? thanks

 

[jugger]

wow that would be cool to have a tank full of jelly fish...LFS sells a few here but their not that cool....iv seen some really cool ones at a few public aquariums under some kind of light that was intense.....i know some one posted some cool pics of jellys under blueish lights in the photo contest... not sure about the black light but i know a few people have them on their tanks....but iv never seen any pics..

About how much do they cost at wal - mart? I like the looks of the color.......it is awesome.

i think the water proof ones are $35 and the non-water proof ones are ~$25.... but go with the non-water proof ones (unless you want alot of light inside the tank)

 

[zibnata]

They have them on the ***** website. How many lites would I need for a 55 gallon tank ?

 

[reef fool]

Just my opinion, but those hi-lites are not nearly as nice looking as the real moonlights. The Custom Sealife ones are just a little brighter for $20-$25 each, but you can't beat the look of the Blueline Moonlights IMHO. Well worth the extra $$ ($50 each), if you have it!!!! I have seen the hi-lites and they don't even compare.

 

[cprdnick]

Reef Fool, most of us people that went with Hi-Lites bought them becuase we can't afford the real ones.
