Best 40W NO to Supplement Iwasaki 250

[Dano]

Hello,

As the title says what 40 W NO Actinic, supplements 250W Iwasakis the best? These will be running on a MV magnetic ballast.

Thanks

URI brand actinics are by far the most popular. Great color.

If they still make and you can find a place to get them from,......Phillips 03. It'll also be the cheapest.

Thanks a lot,

I should have noted there will be 2 250W Iwasaki's and 2 40W actinics over a 4 foot tank.

2 normal output actinics may not be enough to offset the yellowness of Iwasakis. You probably need to go with 2 VHOs or 3 or 4 NO bulbs.

Thanks,

I may try it because I already have all of the parts from previous setups. I was actually thinking the same thing but I have never seen the Iwasakis in person.
