mrpet, IWAN is not in the US, so the places he will suggest you shop are in Germany, and the fixtures he suggests will most likely be 220v... you really want that?

I've been dosing digest and bioptim for 3 months and would like to know when I shoud start adding Reef booster and how such as, at thew same time as digest and bioptim or what?I havw a mixed tank with 80 gal water volume.
 
The Ice Cap ballasts are way cool with the 80 watt lamps. They don't overdrive them nearly as hard as 54 watt lamps. They are less expensive that 80 watt T5 ballasts. As long as you use fans to cool the lamps they will last over a year.
 
thanks grim do u have a suggestion on what retros and which bulbs and how many on tank of my size? the 80 watt lamps are
60" right? thanks scott
 
Reefgeek is probably going to make you the best deal on the 80 watt system. Like ^^^ said a dozen lamps would be a good start depending on what you want to raise in the tank.
 
As for tubes - see if you can have a look at the new KZ Coral Lights T5s - 5% red and the remainder 50/50 white blue - best yet IME

Cheers

Simon
 
Havn't seen them yet. UVL's actinic white might be something like that. Seems to have a bit of a pepto hue to it but it is a 50/50
