Lights that Mimic Night in an Ocean?

[Kasey Grohowski]

Anyone know of lights that would mimic the dusk period in the ocean? Thank you.

for a marine tank? You will need a dimmable LED light. How big is the tank and what coral do you have? What is your budget?

FOWLR tank that will have catsharks in, 220 gallons and don't really want to spend more than $500

If you happen to already be using an APEX, they have a lunar modular which is in your price range.

My current lights have a blue spectrum, not apex but I'm not sure what the difference is.

Please answer my questions. I need some info before I can help.

I am referring to a Neptune Systems APEX controller. They have their own lunar simulator with lights and control module.

EDIT- I am so sorry, I misread you post. You are asking for dusk simulator, I thought you were looking for a night time simulator.

I did answer your questions?

ok. I wouldn't advise any shark in a tank with 90-degree angles. You will also need a tank over 300 gallons to support the sharks. I would take a look at the AI primes. 3 should do the trick+ they have an app for control

Are lights with dimmer switches a necessity for fowlr tanks?

Fluval Marine and Reef 3.0 have a sun up, sun down, and night mode. It uses a super easy to use BT phone app.

No. But if you want sunset, you need a dimmer
You also should not keep sharks in a 220

Anyone have reviews on this?

It is only 36” long, and not dimmable

3 primes with mounts would be about $700

3 primes with mounts would be $700. why not current orbit marines? only a few hundred and its a fish only system.. you can control white and blue spectrums, set sunrise and sunset, timers, and has weather effects..

Jeez, I'm looking around the internet for lunar lights, not exactly sure what I'm looking for. I'll find something eventually.

I would do current orbit marine lights.. will be half of your budget

Yeah I'm looking at them now, they look very cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

I used two of the orbit marines on my 24 gallon nano tank and it also grew softies and lps very well.... the primes is a better option but I don't think your fish will know the difference
