    Lots of experience on levels far far far above a simple fish tank.. in Value and demand . From a Meat dept to a diamond section to a car show room even dentist spectrometer to match those $$$$$$ crowns and caps and bridges to match the rest of the teeth. Even to the lamps in a paint dept of a Lowes or corner hardware :) look with a fish tank its just a few bulbs to loose :) I know what I know from doing and applying what that taught me .

    When you talk of 50/50 do you mean the actinics are 50/50 or the lights should be 50% actinics & 50% whites for example, 78watt of actinics & 78 watts of whites 2 bulbs on of each at the same time...?
