Lunar Lighting?

[hyunelan2]

I've been tossing the idea of adding lunar lights back and forth for months now. Still can't make up my mind. I don't want anything super-bright, just a small glow. I had 2 LEDs on my 25g tank, and that produced the desired result, but I want something that I can plug into my coralife timer to run opposite my lights.

Does anyone have anything they like? Like I said, it doesn't need to be bright, just a little moonlight for shimmer effect. Thanks.

Coralife makes some nifty modular lunar lights that work pretty well and require no wiring, etc.: Aquarium Lunar Moon Lights: Lunar Lights

They're not cheap, unfortunately. We have them mounted in the hood of one of our tanks. You can easily add more, if you want.

Of course, there are a lot of DIY options, too.

Petsmart has some that can be submerged in the water. That's what we have. It looks really cool. Same kind of lights and everything, assorted colors. Just water proof.

i was thinking of adding them to my tank also but i was looking at these maybe. They can either attach by suction cup or to my mainlights, plus you can bend them to aim where you want.

I may be wrong here with the type of light between led and a bulb, but personally, I have one of those 3 tier stand up lights from college, I have a 25W red bulb that is about 2 inches from the tank, I use that for a "lunar" lighting at night. I think it works great, and its a lot cheaper.

ya i saw something similar from another company Endl98, neat idea but personally i would want the lunar lights for night viewing so i think i would want them on and not off sometimes due to the moons cycle, i bet it would be great for breeding though

i really like the effect of lunar lighting. i prefer blue over red though. i'm looking forward to finally moving so i can install the ones i bought. (i've been slacking big time on my tank since i bought my house...hopefully i'll get to move in in two weeks).

this doesnt go completely out just goes from 100% brightness decreasing to 10% brightness. still its like on to off.

i just turn mine on and off.
