Black Light not for Regular Use
I bought a "Purple Photon 3" keychain black light from www.photonlight.com for ~$10. It does cause corals to fluoresce when used at night. It is all that I need for my 75-gallon aquarium.
Since the wavelength is 370 nm (UV-A), a black light is not something that I would put in a fixture for regular use. |
