Hi
as some of you know I have a 4ft set up which will be ,eventually,or should I say hopefully a reef system.At the moment I have an overtank luminere with 4 T5 tubes.The lights can only be turned off 2 at a time.However they are all white lights and I was wondering what I should do about blue/attinic lights?
Thanks
Nikki

Hi Nikki

I am a bit out of touch with lighting having run soley the same type of halide lamp for 2 years. However, I am sure that you will get lots of advice on this tonight.

T5's are ok for softys, I personally prefer T8's imo
Just replace 2 of your lights with actinic blues and your away and if you decide to get sps,lps etc upgrade to halides
hope this helps
