CA2OR Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have 6 LED's from WAVES...can't remember what they are called. They are the one's that you can add onto. And the 2 from the corallife light. Do you think it is too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Allen Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 From 10pm to Midnight I run a moonlight. We just recently set our tank back up after moving here. I have used Cold Cathode tubes for moon light and think it has the best look. Alot of the LED moonlight technology can burn/bleach LPS coral, so I avoid using it. I will do a DIY article on how to get the cold cathodr hooked up later. Cold cathode is essentially the lighting that people use in their computer cases to make the computer look cool. You can get them on eBay for low cost and they last a long time and are low energy (12v). Here is a pic of the cold cathode on (it looks brighter in the pic than normal - also remember this is new tank **don't pick on all the fish & coral in the tank **) This is a pic of the cold cathode and how I mounted it: And here is where I tucked away the power module which is fed by a Radio Shack 12v adapter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 That looks interesting. I may have to hit you up. Interested in making one for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 I too am interested. Also I would like to know if I could get that in a deeper blue. I have some cold cathode's that strobe....would that be bad for the corals? Would my fish start having siezures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
