Works for me, I have a 75 gal Angel Fish tank, I run two double NO strips on it (planted tank) 3 of the bulbs are Grow lights, and 1 is a 50/50 daylight / actinic

Brings the color's in the fish out really nicely!

Sorry steve o, hadnt been to the FW side in a while.

I pulled the actnic when I got my new discus, since november I havent had any lights on, the room has track lights above the tank do a ok job, saving for a coralife FW aqualight, and spending alot less time wiping the glass.
