[APD] Re: Moonlights

[James Foley <foleyjames at shaw_ca>]

I have two 3/4 watt moonlights over my 55. None of the fish seem to notice
them at all. The nocturnal fish are visible (although colourless), and they
still come out with them on. The diurnal fish still migrate to the bottom
with them on.

Regards,
James
