I'm currently using Uri 50/50 VHO bulbs. They seem to have a dull yellow look to them. I also use a Super Actinic bulb for the dawn/dusk effect. When the two bulbs overlap the water glows nicely. I was thinking of trying the 14,000k bulb in place of the 50/50. Will this bulb be ok for...

I have two different fingers that are being attacked by a parasite. It starts off looking like a small spec in the leather's tissue, (like a split in ones finger). It then travel and increases in numbers. Some of it also will stay on the exterior along the lower end of the stalk. The stuff...

The light is new and in box. This is an extra since I upgraded to VHO sometime ago. I paid $45.00 and I'm looking to trade for a large toadstool, finger or devil's hand that I may not already have.
