Use the ones you like the look of,:) I use the actinic whites and the blue 03s, less pink tone, next I will try the aquasuns,

I like the Aquasun bulbs - just not by themselves.
As slothy mentioned - the pics look a lot more "pink" than the tank does in person - not sure why - but the Aquasun's do bring out some nice colors in the tank/corals - when supplemented with either the actinics or MH.
I've switched to (2) actinics (1) Aquasun and (1) 50/50 actinic white.
Much better balance of colors in my opinion - and looks a little more natural.
Takes some getting used to - if you're upgrading from say PC actinics & daylight bulbs - for sure.
But man oh man - you gotta be digging on the actinics by themselves !!!!
Ohhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh Fluorescense :cool:

Yeah slothy - me having problems :(
Last try - for real this time.
If the pic doesn't post - just imagine a really pink tank - okay.
This is hardly worth it LOL but it's a challange !
 
Is it the same shade of pink as the 29g Rubbermaids at Wal-Mart ? :D :D :D
Just busting your chops Broomer !!!
I bought 2 50/50 Coralifes. 1 was white/blue and the other was white/pink. I just figured one was a whoopsie, ... guess not.

Broomer I was thinking about switching one of the aquasuns out, and since you did and like the color...I'm going to switch it.
Never realized how much coraline I had until I turned these on. WOW and pink is not my favorite color lol.
Thanks for the input:)
