    I recently got some Par30s for my JBJ 28g. They dont have moonlights but id like to get some. Any suggestions? would a blue ecoxotic stunner strip work?

    I have PC's which don't have a lot of blue at all so I picked up a Hamilton LED lighting strip for not only moonlights but also to accent the PC's when they are on and so far I am loving the strip! For a 28g the hamilton blue strip should work well to accent the lighting while on and u get moonlighting too. They aren't expensive either!

    I think you'd be going a bit over kill with stunners on a 28g. I have 2 leds on my current 20 gallon for lunar. I think I paid about $25 for them at LFS and they are awesome

    Hey, I have the R2 at the moment but I'll be installing a Magenta/Royal Blue stunner with in line dimmer shortly. The R2 is really nice but anything with deep royal blue will make your corals pop at night.

    That might work pretty well, only problem is finding blue LED Christmas lights in January, where I am all lights are sold out. I might be able to find some chasing red and green lights. Ever thought about making your tank a disco club? ;)
