Chasing Sanity Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm looking at getting a moonlight for my axalotl tank which is in my bedroom. I've seen them on eBay but am always a bit hesitant buying that stuff from overseas. I really only need a moon spotlight, if that makes sense? Any ideas?

Sarah Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 You have axolotls?? Pictures please!!!! I really don't know the first thing about lights, so I'm really no help with your question sorry! You probably already know, but since axies do not have eyelids, they don't like lights. So if you don't have live plants in the tank, lights are really only so we can see those gorgeous marshmellows. As long as they don't give off heat, it should be nice though! Oooh... I notice you are in Darwin - how do you go about Summertime with them? It's a nightmare here in Sydney! I need a chiller...

Chasing Sanity Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Oh! I used to live in Darwin, moved to northern NSW in March. Axies are illegal in the NT My main reason for getting a moon light is that it's a bit softer than 'normal' lights and I'll be able to see Captain Slow go about his business. Plus I've got major anxiety issues and a night light is nice Here's my boy, he's alone in a 2 foot tank and doesn't seem to mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Didn't know they were illegal in the NT! Would be much to hard to keep cool though. Captain Slow is gorgeous! Looks very happy & healthy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somchai2500 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I bought the LED moonlight strips from Hong Kong @ $15 each. The adapter has straight pins not AUS plug but they provide an AUS adapter. So I twisted the pins with pliers on an angle and now plugs into the power board easily . search "macquarium" on this forum and you will see them. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
