SunPaq Dual Actinic 420/460nm

Looks awsome in my tank! Makes the take a tab bit more blue which looks great IMO. But its all in how you want your tank to look, weither its more yellow or blue.

I don't know how much off an offset the 420 is compared to the 460 is BTW.

420 is purple/violate and 460 is super blue

Ive ordered from innovative before good company to deal with.

50/50's are half actinic and half 10k which would be one white side and one blue.

You need all actinic if you want all blue or purple depending if you go with 420 or 460.

Does $42 include shipping, cuz that seems kinda high to me.

Hamilton has a sale on square pin 03's for $30, and their straight pin 03's are at their regular price of $35.

But I'm not sure how much shipping is - probably less than $12, which would put you ahead anyhow.
