[kevin21]

thank you!

any other opinions?

 

[kevin21]

also, what bulbs should i purchase with this light??

i would like a dusk dawn affect which makes it nice and blue in the morning and late at night.

during the day i dont want it to be very blue...i want it to look like daylight.

thanks

You'd want aprox 50/50 combo of aquablue to actinic or actinic plus. Some people also throw a 6500k sun bulb in there somewhere but I probably wouldn't.

 

[kevin21]

thanks

those are more expensive but what about the bulbs he offers...i was told by a friend if i bought

2xsun
2xaquablue
2xactinic from him then i would be able to keep any coral whatsoever.

do you agree?
