Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / November 2004Power Compacts?
I want to change out some lighting, miss that rippling light reflection on the bottom of the tank.I have 4 NO tubes, 40 watts 4 feet each. 1 actininc, 1 50/50, and 2-10ks. I want to upgrade the lighting. Where is the cheapest place i can find to upgrade my lights. I prob need power compacts because i want to cram them under the hood with the 160 watts of NO's and there is only about 3-4 inches of headway under the light fixtures to the tank top. Will the actinic PC's give off good ripple reflections on the bottm, and will they bee good enough to hard coralize my tank? or will i need to get a 50/50 PC or will i need to get a 10k PC, and change my NO's to actinic to keep the good look? wolf Only point of source lighting will provide the ripple effect you are looking for. It sounds like you need an MH retro kit or some pendants that you can mount inside your canopy.

Never mind. Don't answer that.
