    Lot more people using 'moon lights' this days on their reef tanks. Here is a new one from Marc Weiss - The 'Moonshine.'

    It uses a 1 WATT!!!! 'hybrid phosphor light source' that puts out blue-actinic in the 470-480 range.   8)
    Anyone got one?

    I bought one of these at the IMAC conference this spring. It is a single point of light like a MH lamp so you get glitter lines in the tank. Pretty cool.

    I'm guessing $70. I know that is a lot for a moonlight but those darn glitter-lines had me hooked.

    PS---I had a hitchhiker stone crab in my tank that I tried EVERY KNOWN METHOD of removing short of dismantling all of my LR. He would come out only at night and KILL, KILL, KILL. When I added the moonlight, I didn't have anymore livestock losses. He stayed in the rockwork. He has luckily gone to crab hell now. One night I heard the shootout at the O.K. Corral in my tank. Either Butch Cassidy (pistol shrimp) killed him or he just died on his own. I don't know because I have never seen the carcass.

    I've had a couple of these for about 6 months on one of my tanks. I bought them when they first came out and overall I've been really pleased with the effects. They definitely make night viewing very enjoyable. They are rather expensive though ($70) and I have noticed some difference in the color between the two lights. I have them on my 55 and two is plenty. I wanted to put them on my larger tank, but didn't want to pay that much for them so I built them. I used this great DIY plan that worked perfectly:

    Just bought a moon light on Ebay myself. Not this unit though... It is from a company named "Pacific Marine". They sell different units. The one I settled on has 4 blue LED lamps (about 1 watt as well). The lights are on flexible wires so you can osition them above or I guess beside the tank. Very, very nice unit. Also creates light beams or can be reflected off the top of your hood reflector to give a broad light effect... My fish Love it ! When it got dark they used to just hide.. now they swim around... a whole different baahavior.. Check Moon LIghts out on Ebay under pets>fish...
