looks very good, ive thought about buying moonlights in the past, but i was worried that the light would bother the fish. does it not bother them at all?

Looks great. I have been thinking about getting some myself but didn't think they were worth the price. Could you post the seller's name or the auction number so I can see what to look for? Searching eBay for "blue LED" brings up a lot of results .

Hi there namehater no I don't find they bother the fish...I think the corys like them IMO...That was why I got them too watch my corys at night when they are more active lol...


And Hi wot_fan I found them on Ebay total shipping and all was $25US and I got them in about a week and I live in Canada...Here is the link for the seller and the ones I got were the Moonlight Aquarium Lighting 6 LEDs 13,000MCD Max Bright...

Here is the link to the seller

Thanks for the info and +rep for you . I just placed a bid on a 4 LED set for my 29 gallon.

Do you leave them on all night? Do the non-nocturnal fish rest with these lights on? I have read that if you leave normal tank lights on all the time that it stresses out the fish.

Glad too hear you found ones you like and the seller is easy to work with will help you anyway they can and they are real easy to install had mine in and working in about 20min...

No I don't leave them on all night they come on around 9pm when my daylites go off and they are set to go off about 1-2am never up that late too see them go off lol... All my lites are on timers day lites on about 8hrs a day 2 hrs on morning and 6 hrs at nite from 3pm-9pm... Hope this helps Rob

PS Good luck on the bidding for your own set of moonlites...
