Moonlighting for ati t5 fixture???

josh4107 · Mar 31, 2014

Anyone have any suggestions for a moonlight I can use with my ati t5 fixture? I love my t5s but really miss having a moonlight/low blue LEDs for making corals pop after main lights go off. Was considering adding a reefbrite strip but am afraid it might be too much light. Anyone using a ati fixture and have a moonlight source. Any help or suggestions would be awesome!

reefbrite is probably your best option, start with one strip and see how you like it.

I used these on my 90. Added them to me Tek T5. Loved them. Seem to be out at marine depot but they can be found all over eBay.

Those 5050 LED strips from eBay work wonders for moonlights. I used them on a 16 inch deep tank and it worked really well. They're dirt cheap and you can power them with an old phone charger or any other DC power supply you can find.

I'm just wondering how I would attach them to my fixture and make it halfway decent looking. Really like the reefbrites but I'm not sure if one blue would be too bright

One blue is more than enough. I love my reefbrite it gave my corals the pop I was looking for.
