[teresaq]

I am redoing my lights with mh, and want to add actinic Will these be ok. I will start with 2 39 inch lights, and can add more if not enough

I just wonder what material they use for a reflector... plastic I'd assume, wonder if its the same from their other fixtures?

A friend of mine uses 1 39w actinic with a 150w 14k on his 29g. Great color and price

I dont think they really have a reflector, but since I only want them for actinic I'm not worried about it.

Teresa Q
I was just doing some research for my own tank and I see you must have the exact lighting I was looking at. I was looking at a 48' Nova Extreme 2x54 T5 high output retrofit kit. Is this working well 4 you? what kinds of corals do you house? Since this is my first big tank I am nervous. (used to do nano's)
Thanks for any imput

I'm in the process of switching to mh. I am going with 3 x 250 mh and 2 39wtt t5 actinic.
