Is this too bright for fish at night? (pic)

No other lights are on in the room just the Aquafuge2 light is on.

I think it will be ok, but would try to darken it if possiable.

well maybe Im not sure how much light is too much but if your fish dont seem to settle down to sleep then it might be too much, you can always just turn it off or set it on a timer.

One thing to consider is that some fish act differently in the dark than others. I have a tank with five blue-green chromis and two ocellaris. As soon as the lights go out, the chromis scurry for hiding places in the live rock. The ocellaris continue bopping around the tank, oblivious to the imaginary nocturnal predators that stalk the chromis.

If your fish act differently at night with the Aquafuge2 light on than with it off, then the tank may be a bit too bright.
