Two questions....

1) What would be your best moon light for an 18g nano(20"x13.5"x18.5") ? I was looking at that CoralVue. I don't want anything too bright, and I'd like a nice blue color.


2) Micro-Jet's.......are they solid dark grey color or do they have ugly green plastic above the exit nozzle? Reason I ask is the one in the picture on your website is all dark grey, but my LFS's micro-jets have the green plastic. Also which do you prefer, the 320 or 450? I'm going to be running an AC 300 on my 18g nano and thought this might be enough circulation without using PH's, but now I'm reconsidering...still not quite sure.
 
Also whats the spectrum on that LED? I'm looking for something with a spectrum as close as possible to 472nm.

The PFO is going to be too bright for the application that you are using it in. This would leave you with the CSL and the Coralvue. I would go with the Coralvue, as it is a blue led, rather than the white of the CSL. I have one CV left in stock right now, but will hopefully have more in the next couple weeks.

We have the green ones now, which I believe are the newer style. I am not sure of the differences between the two, although I am sure it's not much. I would probably use the 450, as the 320 is extremely low on flow.

I am not sure on the Coralvue/CSL, but the PFO spikes between 450-460nm, and the CV is not as blue as the PFO. Seeing this would leave me to believe that it is a little higher in the nm range than what the PFO is.
