Apex Lunar Simulator Module

[Meeggles]

I’m new to this hobby and I’m interested in setting my lights to simulate the moon cycle with the Neptune Apex LSM. I currently have 2 Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue LED lights. Does anyone know if the lights and LSM are compatible with each other since I don’t want to spend money and find out it doesn’t work together.

The LSM is completely independent of whatever other lighting you have.

Another alternative is to simulate moon lighting with your Kessils. See my tutorial on Apex Lunar Schedules for an example: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptu...ion-lunar-schedule-and-lighting-profiles.717/

Thanks for the link I find it very helpful and I’m going to try following the step by step later. I would have never figured out how to do it on my own lol

Any idea how many Neptune Lunar modules do I need for 48 inch of tank?

I got 3 for a 6’ tank and is much brighter than I expected. I would like to try 1 or 2 to see how they do.

I use two on a 48" wide. Seems just right.

One led per 24” of tank length has seemed about right. If they’re too bright you can cover them with a piece of blue painters taps to attenuate them a bit.

Can I use these lunar lights with just a regular power supply??? I don't have an apex

No, need to connect it to Apex.
