    To my knowledge - there is not any behavioral difference with having versus not having moonlights.

    I believe they are mainly for aesthetic reasons as the PAR output of a moonlight LED is quite minimal and likely not enough for any kind of growth.

    That being said - moonlights sure look cool!!! They really make nighttime behaviors easy to observe!

    Yes Oyster Feast and Arctipods premixed into a little measuring cup and I use a plastic cooking syringe with some flexible tubing on the end of it to spot feed. The syringe is better than the turkey baster as it is much easier to control and direct. I actually have a 1' section of rigid clear tubing in the end of the clear flexible tubing - ultra easy to direct the food and you only use as much as you need.

    Thanks Yes mainly getting the moonlights because freaks come out at night. And you have the wow factor.

    When you said the food was pricey you forgot to mention you had to give blood to afford it. No kidding aside it looks like a great product. will be ordering some soon.

    See if a LFS carries it - this way you can avoid shipping.

    Damn 420 that's like going to a buffet. Right now we only have one resident so I am going to spot feed. Picked up coral frenzy - mysis - and rods so will be feeding him later. Thanks again
