    do you guys leave your led moonlights on all night or just while your awake to enjoy the aquarium?

    is there any advantage to leaving them on all night no a reef tank?

    I leave mine on 24/7. I have two LEDs moonlights that shine on the front of my tank. The light is pretty minimal. During the day my t5s take over the moon lights which is why I just keep them on all the time.
