Moon Lighting.. Not So Straight Forward Or Is It

hia

i want to add moonlight to my marine tank, but without going to the cost of new tubes etc ( cant be done on the light i have anyway)

its a juwel vision 180 and all the top is open ..the water level is just touching the ledge round the inside.. so where do i put them?
i was thinking about those ones that you buy in strips on ebay for about a tenner?
bearing in mind that the tank is open top too .. really cant think how i would get them in there....

ooh what about submersible light bars??........ no idea is these are possible tho

what i would do, is fit a bracket either side of the tank that will take a strong plastic bar that wont bow...that way you can attach the LED's to it with cable ties and its removable too.

sorry Truck, i dont understand what you mean

ooooooooooh do you mean a bar that runs the width of the tank and strap the lights onto that?? if so would it be ok under the heat of that light?

yes...you know those netting things that people have in their windows? they're normally held up with a little plastic rod...one of those would be perfect, you would just need to glue some hoops onto the side of the tank
