LED lighting

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hey guys, new here. Great site!
Will nocturnal fish come out with these lights on? I have a very shy lima shovelnose and a synodontis eupterus that I never see that I'd like to.
 
I have heard over and over that fish do not see red light as light. It is still dark to them so I am going to get some and try it on my shovel nose and black ghost. I will let youknow how it works. Bet it will look awesome with all black sand.

That's what I went with. I tried the nocturnal blue first but didnt care for it. So i picked up the moon white and it's exactly what I was looking for. I Think I have a pic at home of both lights in the tank at the same time (I'm at work ATM). I'll look for it and post it up. I got the lights at my LFS so i was able to exchange the blue for another white. And my Pangasius that only comes out when I turned off the lights comes out with these on so I get to watch him. I've been taking pics of the tank lately so i'll try to get them sized down and get them online.

Is there a good source to buy these lights? Does anyone have a catalog name that they can be ordered from?


I buy my LED flash light here ..... they also sell a good selection of LED bulbs.... very cheap........ cheaper than ebay.... no shipping fee.

Hope this helps!
