New Bulbs!

[Dastank]

So it's been a little over a year now and everybody says you should change your T5 bulbs every year. I added a few bulbs to the latest Custom Aquatic shipment and put them in today. I also up graded to the Gieseman bulbs. I thought I would just show you the difference.

Old bulbs:

New bulbs:

I was shocked when I turned on the new lights.

Here's a bonus pic, my new brain coral.

Nice! I love how the hair algae has vanished!

Amazing difference!

Nothing like a new tang! He's a algae machine. For the first few days I was worried, I had turned a few rocks over that were covered in hair algae and it was starting to peak up from in-between the rocks. Came home one day and there wasn't a spot of algae to be found anywhere in the tank. I haven't seen any algae for a week now. I've been trying to feed him some nori, but he doesn't seem to eat it yet. We'll see!

The bulbs are a 10,000K Daylight and an Actinic 03 Blue. Both are from ATI Aquaristick/Gieseman. Like Dana said some where they're the same company now. The bulbs are expensive, but look to be worth it.
