HI ! Does anyone know if there any impact on SPS , LPS and fish etc if i keep my moonlight on throughout the night ?

Will this stress the live stocks and cause more algae ?

I don't think its an issue, depending on how strong your moonlight is. Its more for aesthetics. I personally switch mine off as i dont find it necessary.

If you are really advanced, need to keep the tank in tune with the lunar cycles. Some people go as far to change the lighting angle. At the minimum, keep in mind a natural reef is never 100% dark.
