I have been using bluelife lately and they seem to be doing well so far. much cheaper than coralife and current and i dont see a difference in quality.

Where do you buy yours at?

UV Lighting offers these light color choices.

Lamp Types:

* Actinic White, 12,000K
* Super Actinic 03, 420nm
* Actinic Blue 454nm
* 50/50 Actinic White/Actinic 03


What would you guys suggests?

My fixture is just 2 65w PC's if that helps out.

I was assuming the best mix would be 1 Actinic White-12,000k and 1 Super Actinic 03-420nm. How does that sound.

I get them from my wholesaler Anw out of Seattle.

current USA PC bulbs are the best, and are almost twice as bright as coralife bulbs. they actually use more phosphores in the bulb as I understand it.

...which is sad considering that they are probably not going to be making PC bulbs anymore... so get 'em while you can.

...super cereal.
