Having only a 40cm wide open-top tank, there unfortunately aren't any over-tank lights that small available in the UK, particularly with actinic lighting.
When I get my corals in a few months, I'd like them to fluoresce in actinic or moonlight lighting, (I'll be having the moonlights on for an hour before and after the main white lights), so my question is: I've seen a lot of moonlight LED kits on eBay, that claim to make corals fluoresce under their light. One of these kits would be ideal as I can fix them somehow to my current lights.
What is the difference between these moonlight LEDs, and actual actinic tubes? Obviously, the actinics will be brighter, but all I want them for is to make my corals fluoresce. My tank is only a 10G nano, so hopefully the lack of brightness of these LEDs won't make much difference.
Any advice?
