[ooja3k]

Im looking to upgrade the standard slimpaq lights in my nova extreme 36" T-5 fixture...

I am looking at getting 2 10000k aquasuns and 2 super actinics from uv lighting...

are these the same lights??? i have a credit at drsfostersmith so it would be worth it...

should i do it? or should i go with a different bulb configuration???

No they are not the same. The Aquasun is a full spectrum daylight bulb and the Super Actinic is like an 03 actinic bulb. They will work fine together, although not a huge improvement in PAR over the bulbs that came with your fixture.

no... sorry i didnt word my question well...

i know that they produce a different spectrum... between the aquasun and the super actinic...

my question was just to make sure that those are uv lighting bulbs and are legit...

but you wouldn't recommend using my drsfostersmith credit towards those lights? i just want to make my standardt-5 setup as nice as it can be without using individual reflectors...
