    hey PM fishyfinder, he has a ten gallon and he just recently got some of these kinds of bulbs were now talking about and his tank looks good... look at his profile and tank and see if u like that color..he can also help u out alot more, i know a good bit about this but not like some of these people..

    for installing these, u just go to home depot and get regular ceramic plugs.. they use a regular size light bulb socket.

    so the list is:

    bootled- (2) 3blues 2 white bulbs 69.99$ a piece not including shipping
    ecoxotic- 1 20k par 38 bulb 119.99$ not including shipping

    or this one
    the orphek dimmable, replaces 70w halide to 150w halide, which is really cool over a nano, especially when u acclimate new corals.. this is the one i would get for 200$..over all the others..plenty of light and will look real clean just being one bulb over the tank... just do your research, email orphek and make sure the dimmable driver is included in the price.. making it to where all u gotta do is go to home depot and get the socket for like 8$..

    ull get better growth and less poppy color with 3 white 2 blues,, your gonna get really poppy colors and still good growth with 3 blues and 2 white.. ur also gonna get more shimmer with 3blue and 2 white and a nice blueish purple tank..

    PM fishyfinder, ask him what he has, he has a nice looking color to his tank.. just cant remember what he has..
