    My new lights just came in... I just installed them and o my god they sent tears to my eyes when I saw my corals glow!!!!

    I tried all the lights and they are amazing!! The actinics, te moon lights and day lights!.... My god they even showed the dirt on the glass I didn't know I had.....

    Simply amazing!! I'm taking pics as we speak, but the camara takes so much out of it... The corals look so much better In person...

    I do have one question though... The moonlights do send a lot of light.. I'm not sure wether to let those on all night.. What do you guys think? It sends enough light to change my tank to an awesome shimmering blue! ....

    WTG Congrats.
    Same way I felt when I changed over from my PC's to MH's.
    Can't wait to see some pix;)
    Usually the LED's are safe enough to run all night w/o the corals being affected.
    Sometimes I leave mine all night but I usually turn them off around 2-3hrs after actinics.
    How many LED's does the fixture have on it?
    Mine has 12x1W

    I think I'm missing something. I don't have ESP but what kind of bulbs are you talking about? T5's or MH's? And what brand and info etc?
    I have 6' of moonlights on my 210 and I think it is awesome. My closed brain is intense with the polups reaching out.
