Ok guys quick question! I have 10k bulbs in my aquarium now. Benefits of these bulbs is that they last A LOT longer than 20K. Obvious down side is the yellow tint they give off. I am debating between buying some more Panoramic Ecoxotic Actinic LED strips or going with the 20K bulbs at some...

I've always loved the "shimmering" effect of halides (and LEDs) but until recently all I had running was T5s. 3 weeks ago I added two 250 watt halides ... and OH MY GOD what a difference! Yeah, I was getting by with the T5s and I would have said that I was doing just fine, though my candy canes...

I was wondering if anyone could help me here...I am in the process of converting a 30 gallon tank into a reef. Any suggestions on lighting for that size of a tank? Thanks!

Hi guys, So the tank is settling in well, and I was trying to be patient, but the bulbs I got really aren't what I was hoping for. The tank came with 20K radiums, which are too blue for my tastes and the tank isn't very bright. There are 3 400W ballasts, but I generally only run two of them...
