Cheap moonlight strip?

[telsonman]

On my 30g frag tank I'm running strictly t5. I have two blue plus and two actinic. I don't get that coral pop that I do from my display tank. There's a reef breeders led on it. Some I'm curious if there is a cheap moonlight strip out there that I can put on the t5 fixture. I was looking at a reefbrite, but it's $50, and if I can go cheaper I will. It's strictly for aesthetic value. When I have people over that are looking to buy, I want them to pop

$50 is pretty cheap. If you want cheaper you could get those strip (tape) lights off of amazon or eBay. I have no idea if they will be strong enough to really penetrate to excite florescence or not.

Yup. The cheap strips. look for ones with lenses or higher wattage leds. "Stunner strips"

Kinda too bad this was posted now too. I literally just tossed a 36in piece of nice ones I've been hoarding.

I use this rigged to the back of my T5 fixture. Cheap and gives a nice underpowering glow.

Maybe consider the cheap ebay RGB "waterproof" lights. You can tune it to blue, or other colors.
