    My dawn/dusk is from 8am-8.30pm and all the lights are on from 1.30-5.30, I will gradually increase the daylight but I just recently combined tanks and most of the corals are not used to the intensity of my T5 and I have already nuked some pieces even 2/3 the way down and on a limited photoperiod

    The thing about the LED Moonlights is the corals and fish like it. I have a White Leather coral that shines especially bright along with most of the corals at night. It's nice because you can view the tank at night. It's a no-brainer if you ask me. I have one 20" strip and I'm getting another for my 36" 65 gal penninsula reef tank.8)

    I just took 2 pics of the tank with 2 strips of moonlights. The tank is 36" x 18" and I use 2 20" strips. Looks awesome. People comment everytime I show it. You can't miss the white leather coral. The fish all go into the rocks so they sleep fine.:)
