The bulbs are 24" and total cost was $80 from my LFS.

Wow, what a difference!! I wonder if I would be okay with one of each in my 28 G.

[TLTGF]

Ok so I'm about to order the bulbs but I want to make 100% sure that 2x aquablue specials and 2x true blue bulbs from ati is the best possible bulb for me to get before I spend 90$ on bulbs. Or should I get the new coral plus bulbs instead of the aquablue

 

[carey]

The new coral plus is a tad bit bluer than the aqublue specials, they are brand new so no one really has them yet. I know rookie ordered some recently to try out though. If you can wait maybe you wanna see how they look on his tank.

but if I had to choose now, I would go with the 2 aquablue specials and the blue plus's, you really can't go wrong.

 

[CleverBs]

So I won't be kicking my self later when the coral plus bulbs are far better then the aquablue specials?

 

[carey]

I think far better is stretching it, if anything it will bring a tiny bit more blue into the picture. I was waiting on rookie to see the bulbs before i swap out my purple pluses for them. I really really love the blue hue in my tanks.

 

[mr_X]

Get the Blue plus and the aquablue specials.You will be happy.

 

[CleverBs]

ok i will be ordering the bulbs tomorrow, I just dont know how much difference it will really make in growth and color.

 

[mr_X]

LMAO....and you never will, unless you try them.
