Default question to anyone who has the JBJ 28g LED Advanced:

Does the moonligh seem way too bright? Even the instructions make it sound like it will be very dim, but you could easily read a newspaper by the light. I've been on plenty of night dives, and I don't remember being able to see without a flashlight at all. Granted even 3 feet is much darker than 8 inches in water, but these two little guys are bright. It is absolutely beautiful with the dancing lights, but I am a little concerned that they may bother little folks in the future/interrupt necessary cycles. Is this color/level just acceptable to marine life (like red light in a dark room)? I am curious if any of the more experienced here have one of these set-ups as I have not really been able to find a lot of reference to the LED Advanced version or the 28g nano cube. I think the 4 actinics are even less bright!

I have that LED nano. it is Way too bright, and there is no way to dim it besides putting screens over the light itself. none of my corals nor fish enjoyed being in such bright light.

GPZ
is it the moon light that is too bright if so you can go to lowes and get some blue electrical tape and cut a pice to cover the blue led's
I put two layers on top of all mine in my 46G and it worked great.
