Apex Radion Lunar Setting Screen Shot

I was running moonlights for years and years with the LSM and the LED strips that attach to them. I recently added G6 pro's on this build and was researching the same thing. I came across a few posts about lunar lights in our systems that I found very interesting. A few people who have actually dived the reefs even on full moons stated the reef itself is still pretty much pitch black and they had to bring their own lighting. I also found on a couple of occasions while viewing my tank with moonlights on that the fish were still active on brighter moonlight days in the middle of the night. I have since removed the nightlights as I feel I was trying to create a more natural environment but it actually had the opposite effect.

I know this doesn't answer your question, sorry.

Interesting! I was reading the cycles helped a lot with reproduction. The recommendation was that at max cycle it should still be too dark to read. I guess it would depend on the type of coral for how dark it got in the depth

I'm finding the same thing and I have mine set at max 5%
This baffles me - Odd with all the coral reproduction going on these days, and the importance of the moonlight cycle, that we cant get an answer on this
