SunPaq Retro Kit

[ryan115]

I am about to order the Current USA PC sunpaq retro kit, the 2x65W 24" kit. Does anyone know about these units good or bad? I always like to find out a little more before i buy. Also forgot one more thing. What would be the best lighting set up with this. I already have a coralife 65W with a 50/50. Should i get 1 50/50 and 1 10000k or 1 act 1 10000k?

I would say a 1x10,000K and 1xactinic.
The fixture stated is nice.

i looked up the bulbs that come with it and they are one that is half 10000K and half 6700K and the other is a 670nm Actinic. That would go along with my coralife 50/50. Will that be good?

 

[airforceb2]

That would be fine. The 6700K will look yellow and promote the growth of plants if you had any macroalgae but that is all. I'd get it.

I like the Current products. I have the 4x65w PC retros in my canopy with my MH's. I use them for dusk to dawn effect, looks great and adds blue to my 10k MH's. I say get em.

I have these same lights on my tank. I have 2 daylight bulbs(65 watt) and 2 actinic (65 watt). My tank has only been up and running for 6 weeks, but I really like the lighting and have had no problems yet.
