This may sound stupid to some people but I'd rather ask, can "moonlights" blue LED be too bright?
 
I bought some ebay knock-off moonlight bar Shocked, it only cost me $30, it fits PERFECT (30")and its got 15 LEDs and an adjustable powerstrip so I can adjust how bright they are
now I've heard about adjusting it like the moon phases brighter and darker but I usually just keep it in the middle the pic isn't very good, I took it with my phone but its about that bright but some of the corals and the anemone stand out a little better in view of the eye

Man those look bright! Do the corals stay open when the moonlights are on?

I usually don't have it that bright I keep it where it just barely glows, the coral usually closes, my xenia is open though thats the only thing, my frogspawn closed and my acans got there feeding tentacles out, the only thing unusual is the xenia is doin its pulsating thing, it usually closes at night

The ones at the bottom of the tank that close, some cream looking zoas that kinda close, uh they aren't fully closed but not open either, my xenia was closed earlier and now its pulsing again and some green buttons that are closed,

I bought a frag about 3 weeks ago of green button polyps (separate from above) and they never started to prosper they just bleached, the two biggest heads are white! I dunno what to do with them I had them close to the top, and then I moved them to the sand, its still alive cuz when agitated they close but most of the small ones are always closed and its a good size piece prolly 30+ heads, I can't figure it out cuz everything else in my tank is fine
I know someone will ask...I have 4 24" T5 pretty sure it 24W each
