glennr1978 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Man I wish I could remember the combo I ran when I used a 4 bulb fixture, sorry. I probably bought 15 different bulbs before I found a combo that I liked. Im assuming the aqua pink is a reddish bulb, right? I never liked using a thing that was overly red because it was hard to mix with just 3 other bulbs. The one you're asking about definitely looks promising though. What kind of corals are you keeping?

Jackal_Knight Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 mainly LPS, just got a few sps. im already running a ATI purple+ so i know what to expect with the aqua pink. these reddiesh bulbs really bring out the reds, and purple in corals ive been very happy with the results.

jedimasterben Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have some Lagoon Blue on order. I've never seen them in person, but their spectral output graph looks good for a nice bluish-cyan look. Btw, I have no clue where Reefgeek got some of their spectral graphs. The below are from Giesemann directly: Actinic Plus: Lagoon Blue: Aqua pink: Link to comment
Jackal_Knight Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 ok well let me know what you think of the bulb. im gonna go ahead and order some now, might as well try it for myself Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Mine won't be arriving until at least Friday, and I will not be able to have them hooked up for another couple of weeks while the rest of the light is being built, so you'll have yours ready long before mine lol. Link to comment
