Lunar Lighting

[phil_pl]

Does anyone run these.
Is it built in to your main light fixture or is it a seperate fixture.
Does anyone have any pictures of these systems running. I wold like to get one but I want to see what it is going to be like before I buy it.

I have the all actinic powerbrite http://www.current-usa.com/powerbrite.html Takes me back to the black light days... Here's a pic, but it does no real justice, CRAZY COLORS!!!!

I put this on my 300 and point them up in to the Lumenarc III reflectors. They give the tank a very deep blue, enough for the the fish to see in the dark, but not too bright.

I think I paid $8 and change in the auto dept at Wally World. I also paid $9 for the adapter, since our dollar store in Colorado didn't carry them.

My 75 gallon tank has the 6 lights and it works perfect. Not too bright. I tried to get some pics of my tank but with my point of sale P&S camera the pics kept coming out black. My tank looks more like the pics with the date 2009/03/02 on it. You can bend each individual light to point it where you want. I have had them for about 16 months with no issues.

i did a DIY one from Cathode tube's for lighting on the inside of a computer case. i find it a little too powerful. might have been better off for suppliment lighting but i had t5 for that.

i switched out for these, a lot softer look then the tubes.

those still pretty bright

 

[killingseed2000]

If you don't run Current Powerbrites, you're missing out!!! Like you wouldn't believe!! They make your tank what you always wish it was. Seriously. Put more on than you think you need, and you'll be blown away.
I admit, it's almost cheating, but it looks so good, who cares? Load them on your tank, and thank me later.

 

[cmjreef]

Oh yeah, I dont have any yet. But my next tank will be loaded with them. I've seen plenty of proof to convince me.

I like the pfo moon lights lil bit pricey but well worth it I angle them into the tank from the sides gives a great moon light effect when the Tunze's are making it rock back and forth...

 

[robharold]

I do not have any at this time but do plan to get some in the future on my new tank.

do you run a chiller?

I bought the walleyworld car lights as above but am having a hard time finding the right ac/dc adapter. I bought an adapter for $9 at Menards but it did'nt work. It kept popping out of the adapter.

Which exact adapter did you guys get? Does it have to be for 1 amp or can it be less?
I'm wondering if this one will work?
