    tank 1> 6500k 150w Iwaski Eye Color Arc w/ Icecap ballast 2x 65w PC actinic
    tank 2> 20,000K 150w AB DE w/ Icecap ballast 2x 65w PC actinic 2x 13w PC actinic
    tank 3 in works> 2x 400w 20,000K XM w/ PFO ballast in Luminarc III reflectors 4x 110W O3 w/ Icecap ballast + tank 1 & 2 lights
    insane growth under all, especially 20,000K DE. Wouldn't down grade to 10KK ever :D I'd need a lawn mower then and I don't have the time for that ;)

    2 - 10,000K and 2 - 110W actinics

    The 20K's Look so nice to my eyes. But, I would like to grow some sps after my RO/DI system is installed. From what I have read :confused: They do not put out the right amount of PAR for them.
