moon light
I want to put in a moon light, I have read sever threads on this topic on reefland and other boards. It seems there is no set way on what to use. This being said I have an idea of what I want to do, though I would like to see what you guys think??? I traded for a LUNAR 500 MOON SIMULATOR. I can plug in any kind of light into it. I have a 55gal tall tank, 36 inches wide. I have an extra 13watt jalli pc light that I can use with an med blue actinic. I want to place it centered on the back of the tank. What do you think???

I think it sounds like a great plan. Like you have read, many different people use many different applications for moon light, and yours will work just as well.
Good luck, Scott Z. |

Supposivly is stimulates the fish and corals to "breed".
Anthony Calfo's book talks about a easy and inexpensive way to simulate the lunar cycle with a blue bulb. I plan on doing this one day.

Well after doing more research I just found out that the lunar 500 only works with incandesants (sp?) or icecap ballasts for proper dimming. So I guess I am going to have to look at something else...
