Is a Moon necessary?

[PuNanny]

I have a 64 gallon Sw tank in cycle right now. Its plans are to be a Fish and LR tank with no coral. Do fish care for the moon light or is it best to have one?

All personal preference. They look very cool, but they certainly aren't necessary.

I used a blue LED light for my moon glow until salt creep fried the tiny little balast and rusted it off, lol

Very cool looking but in my tank my fishies act crazy when it's on...they aren't used to this lighting and they fight.
No more moonlight for me

Personally, I think it's a marketing scheme.

I agree. They look neat but the fish arent dependant on them.

Thats the idea... if you got the money and you like it why not

I'd get it, If I had the money. I still need to buy liverock, cycle it, then get a clean up crew and then the fish. Thats a ton of money right there! I need to get more allowance. lol

Well I got the Moon light =D

LOL, im looking around for mine right now, I like the idea and have some money...one question I had though was how do the fish react to the change???

 

[PuNanny]

Not quite sure still cycle the tank =D
