Night-view Lighting?

[Karatepig]

Hello everybody. I recently purchased a used tank that came with lighting fixtures that fit onto the hood that each support a single 24" bulb. Are there any kinds of bulbs I can get to do both regular lighting and a night-time viewing light that won't disturb the fish but will allow me to watch them? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

For my night time viewing I simply ordered some blue LED lights and wired them to a 12v transformer. I'm still able to see everything fairly well.

There's 6 of those lights in my tank, 3 on each side

This would probably help me out a lot more if I had any idea what you said XD

If you are not comfortable wiring lights you can just purchase a blue light bulb and use a table lamp. You can get cheap fluorescent fixtures at most stores that plug in. Just get a blue bulb. Or maybe a black light bulb? You can also get LED lights that just plug in and put it on a separate timer from your regular lights. Those also come in battery powered. Blue seems to be the color for night viewing. I included some links to lights to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

I bought a blue led strip on eBay for 30 bucks. It came with an 12V 1amp AC adapter.

Or you can invest in a CURRENT USA LED SATELLITE+ lighting system...
