supernip Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Absolutc sells a gorgeous system. I'll post pictures of mine when I get it this week. Link to comment
JimmyZtank Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 whats the name of the LED system absolutc? do you have a link? cant wait to see what it looks like. Link to comment
surfy Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I have the CSL moonlight on my 35g, I like it. It is more white but it does have a slight hint of blue also. It is really bright so I aim it across the top of my tank and reflect some light off my PC reflector that way it's not full strength. It is also very compact 2''x 2'' if that. Link to comment
bertz_maru Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 hey AbSoluTc... what size tank is that? how many are over it? i see that the corals glow.. does this light make the coral glow like that? Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 bertz- Sorry about not responding to your pm. I have had a horrible headache the past few days and all I cared about was finishing up this ballast transaction. Anyways, that is a strip of 12 - 1watt luxeon leds. Better known as the "Luxeon Line". That is not available to the public as an off the shelf item. You need to get it through a 3rd party and is a bit pricey. However, single and multiple leds over a tank will get the same color and glow out of corals, it just won't fill up the tank as much with the light. If you understand that? The tank is a 28 bow. Yes, the LEDs make the corals glow. Here are a couple pictures of what the corals look like under this lighting. Unretouched. Link to comment
Ascensive Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 do you think you can buy a blue light and switch it out, if the light is white? i wonder why its white...anyways....where can i find some pics of a tank under a white moonlite...any of you out there have one? Link to comment

It's white because its supposed to simulate moon light.....which is more of a white color with a hint of blue. dunno where everyone gets the idea that moon light is the same color as a pure blue or actinic bulb.

JimmyZtank Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 so does anyone recomend the CSL moonlight? Absolutc can do you sell those leds? pm me if you do and how many you would think i need to light a 12gal Flat back hex Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Jimmy- Light it for moon simulation or full tank lighting? Moonlight you only need about 2. Will be plenty. You can even do 1. 1 Led setups (plug and play) are 35 bux plus 5 shipping. 4 year warranty, 30 day money back.. You get the idea Link to comment
Acoustic Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Just go to Wal-Mart (I despise that rathole.) and go to the aquarium section. They have a whole moonlight kit for $24.00. Link to comment
Tataynic45 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 the moonlight that came with the CSL hood I bought looks to be one of those LED lights that you can purchase at radioshack. Get some wires and a 9v battery and have yourself some cheap lighting. Link to comment
kertong Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 absolutc - I just sent you an email - I want to purchase a 1LED setup from you. These pictures made me fall in love - I just cancelled the csl white moonlite kit order from marinedepot for your setup, absolutc. Hope you still have them available! - Kyung Link to comment
Dionaea Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 10g with CSL MoonLite. It's white. Like the moon. Link to comment
