ajroahkni Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Anyone use blacklights on their tanks? Went to Maui Ocean Center today and they had a Coral Flourescence exhibit. Blacklight lit up everything, it looked awesome. Thought it'd be nice for night viewing instead of a moonglow setup. BTW, those MOC guys are sad. They were running "NO" (not no=none) lights over their tanks - ALL OF EM! Sun Corals w/ full exposure - none open. Plate corals that looked more dead than alive. Heh, asked if I bought an annual membership, would they be willing to let me frag some of their corals - nearly got kicked out. Link to comment

Jandree22 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 yeah, black lighting has crossed through my head already... it scared me tho as far as hurting inverts, but I guess this shows that it's completely safe:D i'll have to give it a try sometime;) Link to comment
Pgreco Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I may be wrong, but i think that black lights promote the growth of red algae. they are not recommended for the reef aquarium. Just my 2cents Link to comment
