i personally like the ushio 14k because its a crisp white with a hint of blue, looks more like a 10k to me if youre looking for a crisp white
but the old school in me is going to say ushio 10k
hmm i have heard bad things about ushio, but i will take a look at them. I want to stick with the 10k as for atinics i have 2 130 watts pcs so im getting that awsome bluish look np, i just LOVE the growth i see with 10ks
really? bad things? interesting, i really havent been in the bulb world for a while so i havent really been researching but ushio was the **** 10 years ago lol
that may have been because they were probably the only brand back then but thats all people used to use
either that or they were good with mogul only
dont do current 10k, they suck
i have 4 t5 actinics and 2x150w 10ks and its still yellowish
ocean you know im new to this and dont know much but i have a XM 150w DE 15K bulb if you are interested. I Know its not 10K and it might be too blue for you but i'll let you decide
bc i would still need something to power the HQIs lol,plus i like the growth in the big tank, and that light system i have now is going over the 75 anyways
sounds like u need to take a field trip to hellolights.com and get some lighting equipment. thats how i built my lights. unless u wanted to go all t5s the 29.
errr dont feel like monkeying around with all that crap plus i dont want a canopy its going to be a bed room tank i think idk yet but i just want a premade one lol so stop trying to convince me other wise LOL
when u come to my place... u can see how i built my lights. mine arent canopy either. and it cost me about half of what the light over your tank would cost. and since u probably want to save money (due to the new house) i recommend custom built over factory built.
