Default Too much light?

I recently added some leds to my lighting system for a lunar effect. I was wondering what you thought. If it was too much or not enough. Here are before and after pics

If the fish don't settle in at night you have to much light. My 175 I kill the LEDs at midnight then turn them on a 7am.

I turn mine off at midnight aswell and not on again to 5 pm. I just didn't know if this seemed like too much. I can always take a strip out as they fig snugly into some crevases on my t5ho setup. Woot I was lucky there

looks a little bright to me but sometimes it's tough to tell from pictures. If the fish are settling in, then it boils down to personal taste. If they're still up and swimming around with these lights on than pull a strip or two out
