+mcallahan Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have 2x250 hamiltons 14K, 2x96w hello lights super actinic(they look purple) and I'm happy with the white/blue balance. You are welcome to come check out my setup if you want. That setup is 10K as well so those lights will look pretty yellow. Also what brand bulb are you running right now?

+mcallahan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Ok peeps, here is a special I didn't know they were running: - Buy 3 TRU brand bulbs, get 1 free. My order includes 2 TRU bulbs so if the person ordering the T5 reef white switched to a TRU 10k bulbs, we'd get 1 TRU bulb free. Or someone else could jump in who wanted a TRU brand bulb and we'd get one free. Is everyone else going to order their bulbs or were you just inquiring like me?

mhart032 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 that TRU bulb is going to be kinda white it being 10k correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 that TRU bulb is going to be kinda white it being 10k correct? I can't say for sure what they will look like as I've never had that exact brand, but 10K's tend to be more yellow than white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhart032 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 oh i dont want yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 oh i dont want yellow if you are supplying the same amt (W) of actinic as the 10Ks, they the actinics will help wash out the yellow. the growth on the 10K's is killer.

+mcallahan Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 No timeline set on ordering yet. I'm not in a rush and I'd prefer to push it off as much as I can i.e - around the first of Aug. Is anyone in a hurry to get their bulbs? I'm getting these bulbs: (They look purple, but they make corals pop) 96W actinics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
