Blue moon marine light in fresh water tank

Morning all,

A quick one, I'm running a white full spectrum light for my tank during the day and I have a "blue moon" marine light which I've been switching on for an hour or two in the evening before I switch it off. Is it okay to use this light with a freshwater setup? I do my best to not just switch any lights off if the room is dark already as I've read that's a bad thing. I usually make sure the room still has a bit of light before I turn it off completely. I'm not sure if the blue light is fine to use with a FS setup.

 

I did alot of reading up about this a while ago because I also wanted to use a marine light on my fresh water planted tank.

Seems like the only issue using a marine light is if you have plants they wont grow as quickly with the marine spectrum. Mostly beacuse of the lack of red and the amount Kelvin marine lights generate...

Other than that didn't seems like it will cause issues. Anyways marine lights kick butt, special the programmable LED ones.

 

Oh ja, Plus my t5 tubes ran on both my marine and Tropical tanks.

 

Awesome thanks!
