anyone have the fiji's from zeovit's site? (T5's).

funny some of us were saying they used both. i was just thinking tonight if it's be possible to run a 48" T5HO and a 48" VHO on my icecap 430. i'm going to at some point switch to T5's for my whites, and was going to keep running vho actinics. i like the brightness of the T5 actinics, but i don't know if i could do without the color of my vho's

vho's give a better pop also, imo. but if you are running strictly one of the bulbs, i like the t5's(if no MH is used). i started with just vhos on my tank, but the colors washed out, went to 20k radiums with 4 superactinics, and love my color... everyone comes over and looks at my corals and goes,"i want that one!" and then i have to tell them that is a frag of their coral, and their jaw drops... LOL.

Marko9- what bulb combo do you use? i like the color of your corals in all the pics i have seen, and just wnted to know what you use for VHO,t5,MH and what brand/spectrum of bulbs?
