Supplemental lights for Metal Halid

[ghazni]

what should I use for supplemental lights for my 40 gallon breeder tank? I have a main light of MH 250 W.

for a 40 b i would think something like some pc actinics would be good

forgot to add that this will problably be a SPS dominated system....

Here you go. This is what I had over my 40Br for a while
Dont forget to order two 36 inch bulbs and two pairs of stand offs. Otherwise known as endcap mounts

I vote T5's all the way, why wast money on outdated florescent lighting when for about the same price get the good stuff!

Put your lighting where you words are!! Wheres the link?

Ya, T-5s do have a few more color spectrums to chose from when it comes to buying bulbs too. The grass is always greener though......people with T-5's love the color of my URI VHO actinics and vise versa.
I have both over my tank.

I was gonna get T5's to supplement my halides as well. Tell me if you're ordering online and we could share shipping or something?
