Blue (Moonlighting) Light.

[doresy]

I am dying to add a moonlighting blue light to my (see signature) set-up.

Ok, I have seen a few on flea-bay (discounting the Chinese/Hong Kong members) which are......well cheap and cheerful and probably all I can afford lately.

I also have seen £125 worth up the LFS. (which I cannot justify)

So, any recommendations (from owners of) please?

My boyfriend has a 125l Fluval Roma and purchased one of the ones you're talking about from Ebay ... from Hong Kong too ... it came within a week if I remember right, with UK plug of course and plenty of lead

I would think you'd need 2 for the bigger Roma that you have as it's a push for his, could probably do with 2 on his actually.

He attached it with elastic bands to the removable lids and they look great! the light reaches the bottom of the tank easily and it's great to watch the fish at night with just the moonlighting on

Highly recommend them ... I'll try and get a picture for you if I can

Thanks Loops

That looks great, don't suppose you remember the eBay person's name?

Wow thats some steep pricing at the LFS. It should cost about $10 for moon lighting on a 3-4 foot and $7ish on a 2-3foot. I wouldn't go for LED's look for blue Cold cathode lights. Usually used in computer/car modding. they are cheap. One dual 12" setup should be enough for your tank. That is 2-12" lights. Along with the lights you need a universal AC/DC adapter and you should be able to adjust the voltage. A little bit of simple wire work is involved. But $10 maybe $15 max for that tank. (5-7 pounds I think )
