Question...
I have a 4 x 55watt pc set up.
Two of my lights are actinics.
At the pet store they have two actinic PC bulbs as well. But theirs are soooo dark. They are almost like a black light. It looks cool as all hell and the aneomones GLOW under them. The tank is practically dark with just the anemones glowing.
My actinics are light blue. Things glow under them but barely, and the tank is pretty much lit up when they are on.
My question is.. if I walked into the pet store and said I wanted to add that dark blue PC strip or bulbs to my set up.. what is it that details that degree of darkness?
Is it the 'K' factor?? Or is it something else you use to describe that??
