[Stephany]

Very nice.
Your actinics are set up now right? You like 'em?

 

[Jamie2337]

Stephany,

Yeas...the actinics are up...finally. However, I am not too happy with the lighting. The actinics are really kewl, but when the 10K metal halides come on it seems like they overpower the actinics. I would like a little more blue....thinking about going to 14K....not sure yet. But yes, finally got them going yesterday! :fun4:

I think it is still a little too bright. Here is the 10K with the actincs:

Jamie,
Looks great. The mh's will overpower the actinics but the actinics take out the yellow in the 10K's. IMO, the 10K's are best for coral growth and color. I was running 13K's and switched to 10K's this time.

The growth is the reason I was thinking I would like the 10K. However, I really love the blue tones a little more. I am still mulling it over. I think I would rather have a little more blue tone to my tank that growth.

Thanks for the compliments. I am really happy with how the tank is coming along! :fun4:

Now...gotta run and watch American Idol! :twitch:

jamie i was contiplating this for 2 months then finally said screw the growth ill take the color, and im glad i did for certain reason, this way corals wont outgrow my tank in a short period of time, and another is for beauty...i really like my 15k bulbs, not too blue, when i mix it with 10k & 420actinic pc's...not sure how growth is but they seem to be growing just fine

 

[Stephany]

Wish my tank was that bright.
lol..

 

[Jamie2337]

Spoon...15K? I am guessing XMs?

 

[spoon25]

no, Reef Grow....dont ask....i dont know anything about them except catalina used to be the manufacturer, then they switched name, i have talked to sanjay the lighting dr at penn state, he said he hasnt tested them yet, that he just got them, so i have no clue if there decent high par bulbs or not...i know i like the color though...with just those lights on its really a crisp bright blue

Jamie- FWIW I like the color of the lighting on your aquarium.
