5 LED moonlight, Revisited - Page 2 - Aquarium Advice

I think 5 is a good amount for the 55. The only thing i would change is the location of the center light. Stupid me put it in the dead center which is blocked off by the brace in the 55.

I've got 5 on my 150 and it seems OK. Right now its to bright for my wife to go to sleep. I tell her to close her eyes and she wont see them! [acronym:695eeffcb1="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:695eeffcb1]

5 for 55... 5 for 150... is 5 just the magic number? I've got a 125... probably don't need too much light though. Can't be spoiling that romantic mood in the room with too much light.

if you lightly sand the leds they will look frosted and diffuse and soften the light.

Or cover them with a layer of silicone
