found this cigarette adapter at the 99cent store next door ..............for uh..... 99cents.
it looks like something walmart should carry too, but i found it at 99c first!

DONE . lol














Results? VOILA!!!!! it was one of the strongest moonlights i ever had! GLOWING!!
- Now the tank is just as a show at night as in the daytime. I angled them at the frogspawns and other luminescent corals.
- Makes the greens greener, blues bluer, and oranges... orangier, etc.. it's not just a flat blue w/ other moonlight brands.
- my orange monti caps glows a very strong tangerine color, but my cheapo camera couldn't get a justifiable picture (looks like a good-lookin ric).

My moon lights were like that. But they kept corals open. Not sure if thats a good thing. They looked great though!
