The moonlight you don't want to run all night, they need a period of darkness I think, you can have it set on a timer to run a couple of hours after main lights out, and then back on a couple of hours before lights on, like dusk and dawn.

The moon lights it depends how strong, mine are barely visable , as it should be in nature!
If your moon lights light up the tank I agree!

I got Bacon around 11 today, he is currently chillin in the container fish4fun brought him in drip acclimating. Cant wait to get him in the tank. It's dripping at about a drip a second, is that fast enough, to fast, to slow?

Fish4fun did a good job with him, you would never guess he was a walmart puffer. His tail has a few nips in it but his belly is nice and fat, definitely no worries about IP's with this little puff.

Ill post pics once he is done dripping(gotta make yall wait lol)
