Can I do anything with the stock strip light....


Can I do anything with the stock strip light that came with the 75g tank a few years ago. I'd like to use it for actinics if possible. I have 6x54W T5s right now that are doing a good job but want to make some of the coloration 'pop' and the T5 bulbs are due for replacement for 6 more months.

Thanks.

if you have the room for both than both will be fine. using the PC for actinics is a fine idea. you can also use some of the T-5's as actinics also. you can mix and match untill you get the colour spectrum you like.
