Black lighting

[dave00gt]

Is ther anything negative on having a black light over your saltwater tank just to make the fishes color really bright?;;

It could be bad if you have corals. Black lights let a LOT of UV through.

If you had followed your own advice and checked Reefland's board using the search engine, you would have found that his topic has been discussed previously. I know that I have responded to this same question at least two or three times over the past few years. I have finally decided that if people are really interested they will look it up.

Maybe that's because they didn't bother to try it after reading the advice given.
