Moon lighting.

Post by jdak »

I've tried moon lighting the last couple days and my two clowns aren't really responding well. They usually sleep on the ground and come out the next morning. Looks like they stayed up all night and now are hiding under rocks trying to sleep with the lights on. Anybody else ever have this issue with moonlighting and fish? My moonlights aren't very bright compared to some. I am using a Current Sunpod and i have even heard complaints that the LEDs aren't bright enough. Just want your thoughts...

My moonlights are on all night in both my reef tanks. Everyone seems happy.

Put it on a timer & start with an hour at a time.
