Based on my exprience, having 6X39W T5s on my 55gs with no actinics really made a difference on my softies as compared to my previous setup of 2x39W and 4X24W. Plus I think the Helios are really good bulbs. I currently have 5 of them and 1 20000k which I also plan to replace when it gets busted.

Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:53 pmTanong lang po. I have 3 T8's fitted under my hood. No corals yet.
18W 6700K
20W 10,000K
18W Superactinic
Now, that I've read this, medyo na-enlighten ako. So, I bought a cheap daylight bulb 18w, just to see, kaso nawala yung blue tint nya
And I can't fit another one for the actinic.
Question #1 - Makakatulong kaya sa pag-blue tint ang CCFL blue lights?
Question #2 - Or pwede bang palitan ko na lang yung isang bulb ng 11,000K or higher para magblue ng konti?
Question #3 - Is 56W enough for a 15g to grow and/or flourish corals?
