Hi everyone, so after more than 30 years using Metal Halide, VHO, T5 ...and a few failed trys with LED. I have decided to put my MH's aside since it's becoming complicated to find bulbs and ballasts. I have built my best guess at what mix of new age lights will give me decent growth and color.
I Installed 3 Radion XR15 G6 over my 190 shallow and Knew right away its not enough. So I added T5's ATI blue+ either side. This would have worked IMO. But now I'm bored seeing that there is no shimmer. So I added 2 Kessil 360x's between the G6's. I'm posting simply because I feel this set up will give good results and the look is really good. Noting that ATI blue plus have been an excellent light over my tanks throughout the years, people seem to get nice results from Radion G6's and the kessils are for shimmer plus the lower end of the blue spectrum. On paper should be a winner. I'll post pics again in 6 months or so.
