NEP 20" Owners - Bulb Choice?


Bonsai

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find a T-5 solution for my BC29, so I'm considering the NEP 20" ...

 

I've been out of the game for a little while, but I could have swore that the 18" bulb choice were limited to 10K and Actinic ... but on Drs. Foster & Smith, they list four different bulbs for marine use:

  • TrueLumen 460nm Blue
  • TrueLumen 420nm
  • AquaticLife 420/460nm
  • Ardent White (10k)

So I'm curious, what are you NEP 20" owners running for bulbs?

I don't like the AquaticLife bulbs much. The TrueLumen are better. Your best bet though is with UVL bulbs from Premium aquatics. Be sure to get ones that aren't made 1/4" too short. In my NEP20 I currently have a mix of TruLumen white and 460. I don't know where the 420s are sold. I have 2 of the 18" UVL bulbs in a 18" nova extreme and an Aquaticlife 24" fixture with the stock bulbs.
