- Hello,
- I am ready to put a moon in my reef. How is it done? Do you
- change the intensity and leave the moon on all night? Or do you
- fix the intensity and change the duration it is on?
- I am planning on doing the former so I don't have to stick my
- head in my stand to change the timer peg everyday. The setup
- is a OSRAM 9W blue bulb since I have a 9W CF fixture in my junk pile.
- I'll turn it on in the evening when I do my daily routine and I'll
- rubber band a piece of cardboard onto the fixture to reduce the light
- output according to the phase of the moon. Any comment?

- PS And according to some, leaving the 9W blue bulb on will increase my
- actinic ouput by 200W of 03s, my corals are going to triple in size now
- :) Sorry, I couldn't resist.
