moonlights not as happy as i thought i would be

i just got my R2 Solutions Moonlight 11000 MC from marine depot, and im not as happy as i thought i would be. said its supposed to cover a 3 foot length, which is my tank, and it only makes one area glow which is right underneath it, i thought it was supposed to light up the whole tank

i dont know maybe it will look better when its pitch black, i just unpluged my lights to see how it would look

 

Did you rotate the light in every direction to see what looks best? It took me awhile to get the placement right so that the light was covering more space.

 

so we just turn the light around? i tried it on the right side of the tank then moved it to the middle, i guess ill try rotating it later tonight once the lights go out

 

Yeah, the actual tube spins around in the brackets. It takes awhile to get it right. Did for me anyway.

 

ok i hope that will work although they do look cool, i just want it to light up the entire tank, then ill be happy, deffiently not as bright as i thought they would be

 

Yeah, they aren't too bright...because they are supposed to be mellow, like the moonlight, lol...but I think once you rotate the tube around and find the right position they will be better!

 

I use two of them on my 150. More than bright enough, and covers the entire tank.

Play with the rotation as KC said, you should see a huge difference.

 

ok i tried adjusting them now but its just to hard to tell so i think ill just try again later tonight

ok will do, thanks

 

so now im having trouble on the tape thats on the velcro it came off and is now not sticking so im going to use normal tape and see if that works

 

If possible, try placing the light in the middle of the lighting and in the middle of the tank.
