But like all photosynthetic beings they all usually require and benefit from a "dark period" so I'm applying the same logic here 🤔🤗 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm using two 24" sunblaster t5ho fixtures with a Coralife actinic bulb in one and a wavepoint super blue (basically a blue+ bulb). Petco and Amazon had cheap bulbs when I bought them. When they go out I'll probably get some ati bulbs. Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Just FYI this tank will most likely be broken down at the end of the month. This is not a sad thing though 🙂 Quote Link to comment
