DIY Moonlight

[dominicolas]

I started looking about trying to find out the spectrum that I needed to attain to simulate the moon. I found that the spectrum needed was between 470nm and 480nm. in English thats blue light.

Not quite as scientific as my chemical factory response, but pumagrif, you make a strong point.

I add red lights just to see what it looked like yesterday and my fish look crazy lol

Never heard any compliants except being expensive. But this hobby can be expensive anyways

Amen to that brother..on both.
But I have found a little research, a little digging through previous postings can add up to substantial savings..both in wasted time and precious dollars spent.

This just made me realize that my alarm clock, my PC tower, and my monitor power switch are all blue.. I might just have to throw a cold cathode on my 20G now to continue the trend
