nice blues! is your tank mainly a zoa/softie tank? if so, i would strongly discourage the use of the iwasaki aqua2 bulbs for a mainly zoa tank.

yes its very white, and very bright, but it has virtually no blue spectrum at all, thus it doesn't really give any zoas that spark of flouresence they need to look good. in fact, just about all of my zoas have faded out, and look completely dull.

i'd say it would be a nice bulb for a person doing mainly sps.

but i am using the iwasaki over a 30g, plus 2 VHO URI actinics, and again, my zoas look so dull compared to when i ran only the XM 15k. it would be a good frag tank bulb, but its just not for a zoa/lps/other softies such as rics etc.

i'm not saying its a bad bulb, i'm just saying its not for "zoa people" ;)

looking at your stats though it doesn't look like you have much of a choice on a 90g. i'm sure you want to be able to keep some sps and stuff and thats why you want to switch.
 
thx guys

Surf
My tank is half softies (left side )and half sps(lright side )
thx for giving me the heads up on he bulbs i dont want my zoa or rics to fade away .Now im thinking of keeping my reeflux,lol

I will as soon as they bloom ,I just got them so fragging them up will kill me right now.
But when i do , i think ill have a sworm of ppl knocking or should i say breaking my door down for them.
 
yeah, i've heard the reeflux are pretty good anyways. wait around for a while until theres more info and pics out there about the iwasaki bulbs. iwasaki is supposed to come out with a 20k version of the aqua2 sometime late spring or over the summer. i'm thinking if its as bright as the 15k, thats the bulb i'm gonna want.
