If I remember correct, type I is perfectly fine to use. It's type II that there is a problem with.

Order the marineland from petsmart online.... it is just as cheap as TypeI from GE, and it is "rated" for aquarium use.

 

[Oklahomareefer]

We have the aquarium silicone to use on the sump. We are looking for a cheap 55 gallon glass tank to use as the sump if anyone has one PM please.

Ok so I am looking at purchasing this light from reef geek with the bulb combonation in the comments box. What do you think? Will this allow us to have a complete mixed reef tank?

 

[Lytehouse]

Everybody has their color preference

To me that would be like looking into the sun with the 2 10,000K bulbs

 

[Oklahomareefer]

Ok Lynn, You would do one 10000k? What would you do in place of the other?

 

[Lytehouse]

I sent you a link on bulb selection earlier.

It really depends on how much blue, verses white you want to see in the tank.

It's not a right or wrong thing

It would be fine for a complete mixed reef, like Lynn said its up to how much blue you want. you can play around with red bulbs to. I like a red in the mix usually as the second bulb from the front, but its my preference so play with it a little.

Staci,

I've been thinking about this,

Whose tank, that also runs T5 lighting, have you seen that you liked the look?

There's an idea of who to ask about bulb set up.....

 

[Oklahomareefer]

That would be Pauls tank lol
