| this moon light effect was created using a £7.99 set of asda outdoors led christmas lights layed out in rows then tied together with cable ties. i then layed this out in a old jewel reflector and secured it in place using more cable ties, jobs a gooden, its only held onto the lid by about 8 of my missies hair bands, she hasent noticed yet lol i plan to get more picxtures upof the build process and also secxuring it into the lid properly.  |

What lighting cycles do you guys use to incorporate a moonlight period ? |

| Looks like a facotry made item light effect it excactly the same as mine, though mine is built into the main light unit. In terms of lighting period. mine is in a heavily planted tank running CO2. My light come on at 10.30 am and go off at about 9pm. the moon light only goes on if im looking at the tank or if we hvae people over. I dont run it every night. it doesnt affect the fish, they dont even notice it go on. _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable
