    Very poor reflector design. You could go with a 250w SE with a good reflector such as Lumbrights, LumenMax, or LumenArcs and likely get just as much...

    Retail light vs DIY

    NiNex- I applaud you for doing your research, and the lighting you've proposed will definitely out perform the Aquactinics unit. If using SE bulbs...

    light fixture order

    So, Actinics are just for "THE look"?

    It is. I'd attribute most of it to marketing... One thing to consider is when most talk about Kelvin's in the hobby it is related to Metal...

    So, Actinics are just for "THE look"?

    Wattage is a terrible measurement of light. For example compare a 500w Halogen to a 150w MH. The 150 MH will put out much more usable PAR for the...

    T5HO or PC??

    T6 is actually more efficient in terms of lumens per watt, but the larger size means less bulbs able to fit in a given area. You are also...

    SFILIGOI Aquarium Wavemaker
