Going VHO. Need Help.

[simm]

Im thinking about going VHO in my 100 gallon. What setup with actinics would anyone suggest that would look good and not to purple? And resonably priced?

 

[simm]

Anyone?

I would suggest 4 160 watt VHO Bulbs (6' tank right?). two URI SuperActinic and Two URI AquaSun. I would spend the money on IceCap 660's. They will pay off in the long run.

Thanks Bang. I believe the tank is a little more than 4 feet long or right at.

If the tank is 4' then I'd use 6 110 watt bulbs same mix. If it's 5' then I'd use 5 140 watt bulbs. 2 Actinic, 3 AquaSun if you don't want it too blue or 1 ActinicWhite in place of an AquaSun.
