Moonlight set-up

[amosora]

Do i still need to turn it off at night? Thanks

depends how bright it is. hard to tell from the picture, but i would.
what are you trying to accomplish with the moonlights? if they are just for your viewing pleasure, i'd shut them off when i went to bed.

What type of lighting do you have?

 

[huma-huma]

are you asking the OP or me?

 

[Giblin7]

I'm asking the OP

 

[amosora]

LED, 3 sets of 3 ft.

 

[huma-huma]

Wow that's gotta be a pretty penny

 

[amosora]

Got to do what I got to do

 

[mr_X]

what brand are those?

 

[amosora]

Aquazonic 88 sunlight + 24 blue i think???

 

[mr_X]

are they 1 watt leds? just because they are leds, doesn't means they can sustain corals. i can't seem to find any information on the internet about aquazonic.

 

[amosora]

They produce 20.9 each set. I think these were from singapore. A friend of mine sent it over. Anyways i'll let you know if my corals died. But for now they look more healthy than before maybe because the lights now is not as hot as before.

20.9 what? 20.9 watts? how many lamps are in each fixture?

 

[huma-huma]

How much did they cost? How many lumens they put out?

20.9 what? 20.9 watts? how many lamps are in each fixture?

Lol what the watts sorry. 20.9 watts. 80 sunlight white & 20 a-blue. So i have 3 panels = 300 LED.

 

[mr_X]

i doubt those fixtures can sustain corals. they are not even 1 watt LED. the little ornamental LEDs like the ones you have don't put out enough PAR i'm afraid.
just watch the color of your corals- if they start to fade or brown out, you'll need to upgrade in a hurry. I would especially be concerned about that clam.

How much did they cost? How many lumens they put out?

Almost USD 400 for the 3 panels. Regarding the lumens I'm not sure coz there was no indication in the box.
