I have a light fixture over my reef tank thats probably going to be needing new bulbs. Its been up and running well over a year and I've noticed that the actinics dont look nearly as good as they used to. Currently im running 2x250w Halides @ 15k and 4 PC Actinics @ 65w each. First question...
Would there be any benefit to swapping the 15k halides out for 20k?
Next, what brand lights should i shop for to replace my current PC Actinics. I think that the current brand is Odyssea.
as for my tank. I have a large assortment of corals.
Mushrooms, Torch, grape, Ricordea, Zoas, Paly's, Birds nest, Open and Closed Brains, Candy cane, Star polyps, leather, Xenia, plate, and a Crocea Clam.
so should i change out like for like or upgrade? The halides probably dont need to be changed yet, Im sure they have lots of life left in them but i was just wondering if it would be worth upgrading to 20k when the time comes.
thanks
