Im looking for lights to supplement my dual 250 mh hqi phoneix 14k. Im debating between VHO/ PC/ or T5. What do you guys recommend for colors and growth? Thanks Guy -Mike
 
it really depends on what you are looking for.....

D&D actinic give a nice blue and the new URI has a cool purpleish color...

either way i like T5's
 
URI atinics will give you flourescense in your corals like nothing else. The URI atinic T5's are new so I don't know how those work ........... the VHO's are tried and true. As far as growth probably better to depend on halides for that IMO.

I wish someone would do a comparison between the UVLighting Super Actinic VHO and T5. I got a couple of the T5's and don't see what all the fuss is about. My greens pop just the smallest amount more and that is about it and I see this only in certain corals. Specifically my blastos.
 
bluelagoon....2 would be enough

CeeGee....i have read that at least a few T5 users that had previously used URI VHO's and now are using the new UVL T5 actinic and say it is not the same....
....were they better than the T5 actinics you were using before?
 
I wasn't using actinics I was running 2 aquablue specials and 2 blue plus.

I got the Super Actinics because every just raves about the VHO version.
 
running 2 65w true 03 athinics pc's but upgrading 48" vho athincs soon. I get great color with pc's and vho's with produce better growth i heard.
