Re: [GSAS-Member] Moonlights tip

On one of my 55g cichlid tanks I decided to go with all LED lighting. Put 2 
strips of these 
(http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=/specs/SE-WFLS.htm
 ) in the hood for day lighting and 8 of these 
(http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2Fbolt_specs.htm)
 , 4 blue and 4 white, to use for night lighting. I love the different effects 
I can have in the tank and the shimmer they provide is incredible.

The adjustable output would be really nice.  My little Coralife LED is almost 
too bright on my 29GAL.  I bet it could take on a 90GAL with some glow.

Have fun!
