Black lights?

[Finless]

What is the general opinion on black lights on a reef tank? Just curious because they do produce UV light. Annnnnnd GO!

Hmmm, what type of bulb is it? There are black lights from incandescent to LED. In general I would not rely on these exclusively, but perhaps they lead to some interesting colors. A true black light has UV-A which is not visible and the bulbs usually have filters that make them visible to posters hanging in Spencer Gifts.

Why would you want black light on your aquarium? Just out of curiosity

I saw a post on here about black box lighting and it reminded me of black lights. I dont have any on my tank but I couldn't help to question the idea.

LOL, just a tangent. It may give corals some glow, but it would depend on the light itself if it would give them any benefit.

I vote you give it a try, take some pictures and post em up here. Maybe it'll look cool and you'll start a trend.

Do they still have Spencer gifts in the malls?
