this thread earlier this week may help:


Actinics Yes or No?

That stated, your best bet is still to come to a meeting and check out someone's tank personally. Everyone has different tastes.

FWIW, my 250W Ushio 10K's have shown tremendous growth, but are very white for my tastes. I do love them with my 2-96W dual actinics.
