Moonlight Aquarium Lighting

Aquarium lighting - LED moonlighting (lunar)?

I just purchased a 125 freshwater tank, and thought it would be cool to have LED moonlights in there. I've seen the lights they sell for saltwater tanks, and they are really expensive. I'm looking for something that is just lunar (LED moonlights) lighting. Does anyone have any suggestions or links to some lights out there that are good quality?

If you're looking for cheap, try these DIY plans...looks like you can make them yourself cheap enough.

Also, check out this search on eBay....tons of inexpensive setups of varying sizes. You'll almost certainly find something that fits your tank and budget.

All you'll need in addition is a timer to switch them on and off.

Good luck!!

Aquarium Lighting??????????????

I have a tetra art aquarium that has a 15 watt lighting system do i have to use the tetra bulbs or could i use a different make as i want to do a reef tank and would like to get a bulb which is compatible for corals. would this work?? would like answers from people who have had experience ith this tank not just a proberly thanks

If this comes across kinda of harsh, I apologize. I'm just trying to be straight-forward when I say that you aren't even scratching the surface.

I'm currently keeping soft corals, which are generally low on the light requirements, with 4 54-watt T-5 bulbs. Even then, I try to keep the corals up on the rock work whenever possible. Some corals can get by with less light than what I provide, but not by much. I personally wouldn't try to get away with less than what I have. For more photointensive corals, my lightning would be only be a drop in the bucket of necessity.

Lighting is not an area of unanimous consent among aquarists. If you have experience with saltwater and you'd like to move up to corals, I strongly suggest following some online forums and making your best judgment based on what you read there.

Before you just install your lights in your aquarium, you need to realize that the bulb is just one part of your lighting system. There are many aspects to this system that you need to maintain to ensure your lighting system is working in optimal condition. Understanding how to setup your lighting system is just as important as understanding the individual parts of your light system and how they work together.

Depending on the type of fish you will be caring for, you will need to consider what type - if any - light your fish will need. It is important that your fish meet the same temperature requirements. For instance if you have a fish that needs cold water and another that needs warm water, they both cannot coexist in the same aquarium without one or both being unnecessarily stressed.

If you are not certain what temperature would be best for your fish then you need to research it. Once you know, it's time to install your lighting system.

First consider your bulbs. Do you have replacements on hand should one suddenly fail or should you be unable to purchase one from your regular dealer? While most fish will not die if the temperature in their tank changes momentarily, they can become unnecessarily stressed if they are use to a warm environment.

What type of set up does your lighting need? Do you need a T5 light fixture? If so, have you taken precautions to ensure you have wired everything correctly?

If your light gives off plenty of heat, then you might need to consider a fan or cooling system. While some aquariums have fans built in the hood, that may not be enough to keep your tank the right temperature - especially if you're running a large tank with a large light.

Just as too little light can stress your fish, so can too much light. Ten to twelve hours of bright light is sufficient for most freshwater fish so consider installing a soft light that relaxes and soothes fish. If you are concerned about your tank overheating at night, use a soft LED light.

You might also consider a timer for your aquarium. Timers are a wise investment if your schedule is unpredictable or if you want to encourage your fish to follow a predictable cycle.

Once your lighting system is set up, you'll still want to check everything once again. Are the fans running properly? Is your cooling system working effectively? Is the light too bright or too faint for your aquarium? Does it make the fish look their best or just pale and dim?

If setup correctly, the right lighting system can highlight your beautiful aquarium, provide warmth and stimulate aquatic plant growth.

Can anyone provide opinion on the different brands of T5 and Power Compact lighting for Marine Aquariums?

I am planning to purchase lighting for my new 55 gallon marine aquarium. I have posted several questions regarding live rock and lighting and have gotten some excellent advice. I have gotten a number of suggestions and I need at least 220 - 275 watts. What brand of lighting is better (coralife, giesemann,USA orbit/satellite) and personal experience feedback appreciated greatly! Again, thanks for all the previous advice and maybe with help I can get through this without an oceanography degree!

I don't know that any brand is really that much better. The biggest difference between models is the type of housing, so if you like something "slim" go with the coralife (this is what I use, coralife double tube compact fluorescent). If it doesn't matter if it sticks up from your tank, I know lots of folks who use the orbits as well.

What makes the most difference should be the output (wattage) per fixture, and the wavelength (around 10,000K is best, but I know the 50/50 and actinic look good). Fans are good for dissipating heat. "Moon-glow" features look nice, but shouldn't be left on all night, so this is just another timer to have to buy (not to mention the one fixture I have this on has two "moon" spots on opposite ends of the tank - I don't know what planet this ocean is supposed to be on!).

Also, consider what you have in the tank - a lot of this is overkill if you've only got fish. Corals, anemones, & clams have different lighting needs - If you're just keeping a few, easy soft corals, you don't need as intense as if you are/are planning to keep stony corals with intense lighting needs.

Another practical piece of advice is what replacement lamps do stores near you carry and that is the price? Unless you buy two sets of lamps (one for a back-up) and replace the backups as soon as you put them in the fixture, it's almost a sure thing for the tubes to fizzle at the most inconvenient time! Make sure you can replace lamps regularly and easily!
