I know you may already know this but the par38 doesn't have actinics. I just don't want you to be mad that it doesn't haha

what's a good cheap option to have both white and actinic light options

 

[Amelia Lee]

Oh, what I meant was is there is no direct setting on them for actinic. There will be a blue hint to it but it wont be completely blue

as long as it's a nice mix that makes the corals look kinda neon

I'm not sure without using two different lights.

Fluval Sea has two different settings, actinic and regular. Guess I'm sold!

Yeah I was gonna say go ahead and go with the fluval sea being it has both, if you stick with soft corals everything will be happy!

I actually helped setup Fluvals display booth at MACNA this year and they had the Halo on one of their AIO tanks. Unfortunately I didn't get to see it in action :confused:
