Moonlight Good or Bad?

[SPIREEFER]

Recently Upgraded to Radions x30g4 and to my surprise these days that have been full moon they stay on at a very dim blue light, read up on it and found out they are simulating moonlight. Is it good for the Fish/corals to have light all night?? And if not how the heck do I turn it off I'm running a template from ecotech coral lab sps enhancing color and growth.

There is a lot of debate on that. I personally turn my moonlight off (different fixture) but at such low levels I doubt it is a problem. On clear nights reefs have moonlight and seem to do just fine.

Moonlights aren't bad, but I just don't see the point of them unless you'll be spending some quality time in front of the tank. Between the digital clock, the small lights on the TV, cable box etc, the room where my tank is located at is not completely dark though either.
