replacing vho lamps

[hartkarl]

i iam ready to replace my 4 48" vho lamps. right now i have 2 actinic 03, and 2 actinic white lamps. should i stay with that combo? what are the aqua sun lamps? or should i get a combo of the three? i have a 75gal with lr and would like to start some corals.

I think its a matter of personal preference. The combo of actinic and actinic white is what I use. I have had aquasun and I think they are a little to pink for my taste. HTH

I think you should stay with what you have. 2 actinics and 2 actinic whites look nice.

I agree with Richard, if you like the look there is no reason to modify.
I do suggest you stagger your bulbs swaps over the course of 4 months. It may sound like a pain but swapping out all 4 at once is a really bad idea. New bulbs are extra bright for about a week and then slowly degrade after that. I replace mine in regular intervals throughout the year.
