WOW!

I know it is contained in your thread... but... can you remind me what kind of lighting and bulbs you are using?

Sunlight supply blue wave II magnetic ballast with 10K reeflux bulbs using luminarc reflectors.


The coloration is awesome, but there is a significant drop in the PAR after 5 months.

I'll still rather replace the bulbs every few months in order to have such amazing coloration.

I use the Blue Wave V on my tank and they are great work horses.

If I can ever convince Marc to come over to take some real pictures, you'll be able to see how fantastic the coloration really is!

I should have some time this week Ryan. I had a lot that needed finishing before the end of the year, and it is virtually all done. What are you doing tomorrow, besides getting over a hang over? Matter of fact, what are you doing tonight?
