Is there any place I can see a GE 6500K bulb compared to a ATI Pro Color?

Has anyone tried running 2 different size of bulbs on 1 ballast? I'm thinking of running one 48" and one 36". Would that be bad for the ballast or bulbs?
You could likely do it with an Ice Cap or mixing 24 and 39 watt lamps on the ballasts that are desinged to run 24 or 39 watt lamps. 11/23/2007 05:51 AM Tommy Registered Member Registered: Oct 1999 Location: Brooklyn Park,Mn Occupation: Posts: 402 Grimm How would these bulbs in a Constellation? 3 Aqua Blue+ 2 Midday 2 PowerChrome Pure Act Should like fine, slightly more blue than a 14K halide. 11/23/2007 06:44 AM 11/23/2007 07:29 AM saltwaterfishlover Optimistic Pessimist Registered: Jan 2002 Location: Pompano Beach, Florida Occupation: printer repair Posts: 1516 are the ice cap reflectors that much better than the sunlight's? I can get the sunlight retro's at cost so it will save a ton of money for me and using the GIESEMANN bulbs too Yes but unless you are raising SPS in a tank over 20" tall the Teks will be fine. __________________ Just your average optimistic pessimist...

thanks Grim and I know I keep asking about this bulb... but only because I am already running GE 6500k and GE 3000k bulbs and just want to know what the difference would be taking out the 3000ks and adding in the Pro Colors???

T5's only in 400 gal tank
I am still in the planning stage for a 400 gal tank, 84 inch length, 36 inch width and 30 inch depth. The tank will include sps and anemones.
My current 265 gal tank has 400 watt metal halides. I plan to build a lighting fixture for the new tank and retrofit it with T5's only. What number and configuration of bulbs do you recommend, and which brands/vendors? Thanks |

thinking of a 180 dominated by sps 48"x30"x30
would an 8 bulb tek 2 unit be enough? Thinking i wouldn't do T5 actinics, maybe instead 1-2VHo actinics and 8 of the higher PAR T5 bulbs Can it be done? |

You would want an 8 lamp Ice Cap system for that tall of a tank with SPS.

Does anyone have a picture of what the Korallen-Zucht T5 Reds look like by themselves?
I have 3 250 watt 20k helios bulbs. I have 4 39 watt T5s for suplementation and was wondering if throwing 2 of these red bulbs would be good. Has anyone used these? Ive tried to search for the info, but couldnt find much...

A 4 lamp Tek light would be fine.

Powermodule is great but unless you are doing nothing but SPS it would be overkill on a 55

Could i keep one or two SPS frag in the near future with the TEK fixture? I really dont have interest in keeping SPS but just checking to see if possible. I would love a clam or two.
