Moonlight

[Arimus]

I'm considering buying these from ebay and wondered if anyone has any experience with these...

If they do are they any good? If not what esle would people recommend to provide some lighting at night (won't be on all night).

My current tube lighting is on from 7 to 11, 18 to 22 and I'd have the moonlights on 22 to 01...

I've found that cold cathodes are the way to go to build moonlights, check the link to my planted tank in my signature for more info and pictures...

Those aren't submersible Which as I've got very little room between my hood and the tank isn't an option

Oh ok mate. But these are LEDs, smaller than your little finger!!

I know... I'd love to have a proper set above the tank but sadly space does not permit without getting a different hood etc.

 

[newtotropical]

ok what ever works for you!!

I have just had this arrive today. Its probably not ideal for a perfect moon light affect as it is a spot but i'm hoping with a bit of a play it should be nice. I bought it as it was so simpleand well priced, can be in or out the water etc...
I'll post a picture when I have it set up.

Hi all,

Have a look on Ebay for LUMA rocks. They are submersible resin rocks with LEDS built in. They are really good, my friend has a couple of sets in his tank and they make the tank look really good. He has the rainbow versions.

It is a little bulky but no more so than the heater etc also at the back. I have mounted mine in the back right hand corner and am very pleased with th effect. It bounces off the surface of the water which gives the blue light a shimmer. It does come down in a bit of a spot but ther is enough light to illuminate the whole tank to some extent. I like the slight spot effect as that is what the moon does anyway!

I plan to plant a high plant in that corner so most of the equipment should be hidden.

it looks smaller in your tank than it did in the pic!! Ive just ordered the LED set so time will tell!!!
