What should I use as a moon light?

[Fish_Tank_J]

I have a 70 gallon reef and fish tank. I already have a main light I just need a good and affordable moonlight. Any suggestions.

Do you have a controller or anything attached to the tank? Apex or reef keeper.

I rigged up a 14" version of this on a 36" tank and am very happy with it.

I tried those and found the light output to be very poor so I ended up running a pair of these instead.

There are two versions one with 4 atinic 453nm LEDs and the other with 2 12K and two 453nm LEDs. You want the one with 4-453nm LEDs on it.

I attached a pair of them to my light bar and have them running on a second digital dual outlet timer. I have them coming on 2 hours before the main light lights up and stay lit for an hour after. The pair of them light up the entire tank in a deep indigo blue causing most of my corals to glow like crazy. I originally got them to run in tandem with my main light to push the color temp from 10K to 12-14K and was amazed at how bright they are, so I started using them as moonlighting as well.
