Lighting XM Bulbs

[CarlaW]

Are you going to cut back the photoperiod a bit to acclimate your critters?

I had 20K bulbs that were about 2 weeks old just a different brand so they should be ok.


Before with Leading 20K bulbs

After with XM 20K Bulbs

Yes Sir how did you guess that one HA HA

 

[Saltyfish]

Now I can see the color again I say WOW

What was brown to me for so many months (under T5's and other bulbs) is really GREEN.

This is amazing it is like I have totally different corals. oh and my Favorite My Jackie is poppin like it was in Dangs tank, ok well maybe not that good but it getting close.

I wish I had the VHO's!

Yes Sir how did you guess that one HA HA

i did not guess ,,i saw it on your picture

Jacque will pop more and more,,just wait for little bit.

The wife asked me what is stopping me from buying the VHO's

I guess that means it is ok...... lets see how this week goes

I should be buying 4 36" super actnic vho's here soon.Doing 4 was cheaper then doing 2 72".

After seeing your tank with the xm's it makes me wish i would have gotton them instead of the radiums i got.

I am really looking at the retro kit at hellolights.com

with the ARO ballast they sell it with I will be able to just add another fixture down the road.

very tempting.....
