Wondering about running only VHO actinic lights at night for moonlighting.

[chris009]

Is this a bad idea? I have 220 watts of actinic lighting via VHO and was wondering if this was a viable way to "moonlight" the tank.

I like the actinic look and asked a similar question. I now know that's too much light. It has to do with the spectrum. It's really not recommended. You can pick up some led moon lights to instal or clip on if you want more or dont' have any.
