actinic light

i was just wondering is a Coralife T5 High Output True Actinic Aquarium Lamp 31 watt would be to strong for my 29 gallon?

Ok guys, 2 of my bulbs blew out and im currently deciding on what I should get. Heres what im thinking... I have ... Bubble Tip Anemone Kenya Tree Corals Zoanthids Xenia Pulsating Xenia Clove Polyps I currently have some unknown T5 HO bulbs (before i knew much about lighting i was given 6...

At every LFS I go to it seems that the Zoa's are always under actinics. I bought some Zoa's and when I got them home under my lights they weren't as bright and vivid like they were under the actinics. I have 2 250 watt 14000k MH. If I were to add actinic lights to my setup would they have the...

I am currently Running a 3 tube VHO lighting with Super Actinic lighting. I have 2 blue and one white light. all of my coral and my single rose BTA is all looking well, for now, But is this sufficient lighting? I have tried to convert to a better lighting system but they all cost well over 1000$...

Now that our tank has been moved and has new sand and we've rearranged the rockwork, they're finally lots of room on the sand in the front of the tank for something pretty. I've wanted a brain coral for a long time. Can someone tell me about their general care? Also, which is harder to keep...

36wx4 $179 or 96wx 2 $79, While the t5s will be brighter even at the lowerr wattage (with proper reflector), is it worth paying twice as much? I ran PCs before on small tanks with good results 5 years ago when t5 HOs were virtually unheard of. Now I come back to the hobby and all I here is pc...

Right now I have a Coral life light strip with 2 white, 2 actinic, and lunar lights. I also have 2 250W MH's. Its about time to buy new PC bulbs and I was wandering if I really need to run them with the halides. Other than the cool dusk look in the evening is there any benefit to the actinic...

i'm selling both these bulbs because they look too white for my taste. i do not have any supplemental blue or actinic lights in my fixture the reeflux bulb has been burned in for about two or three weeks. the aqualine bulb has been burned in for just one day. 150W HQI coralvue reeflux 12000K ...

I have two different colors of Sinularia flexibis. One is Tan, and the other green, which looks really cool under Actinic lighting. I got them a while back in a trade. They are getting a little big for my tank setup, and there are a couple other things that i need more, so i am having to let...

can someone explain to me what actinic light does or does it do anything other than light up the tank. How do i get the neon colors in my tank pop are there different moon lights that do that or are there different actinic lights that do that??? I know this may seem dumb but i really do not...

Hello there. I have a 55 Gallon glass tank overflowing to a wet dry sump. In my sump I have a coralife super skimmer that outlets into my home made refugium. I have ran an overflow back from the refugium to the sump in case the return pump cannot keep up with the skimmer pump but really they...

OK, I am really ticked off with my LFS and how they sold me the wrong lighting 8 months ago with my anemone. I guess I will ebay my current light and buy a MH. But, after reading some old posts on lighting and internet articles, I am still clueless. People get one K rating with T-5 lights or...

I will be bringing a handful of frags with me but if there is anyone else who would specifically like to trade some of the more rare corals feel free to pm, I want to bring some but I don't want to bring so many to where some get passed out and get just xenia or something in return...I plan on...
