Coralife aqualight (260watt) question

[ravechild]

Does the coralife deluxe series aqualight (48" 260 watt) use true 03 actinic bulbs, or do they use those cheap blue bulbs?
I recently bought one and want to know if I need to replace the bulbs or not.

Nevermind. The're bright blue which leads me to belive they are not true 03 actinic.

i hope they are true...i just bought a coralife 20" 96 watt....

upon closer inspection my lights appear more purple then blue...so hopefully i'm in good shape...also what all could i grow with this lighting??

Depending on the tank I would say softies (leathers, shrooms, zoos) some LPS. I would stay away from SPS, anemones and clams.

The Coralife bulbs are Actinic 03.

:yes: ditto. I also notice that they sell the "fake actinics" or the "blue bulbs also. They call them "Royal Blue."
