are you planted or just going for looks? i have no plants (anymore) in my 150 mbuna tank, i have 2 light fixtures on mine... both t-8. I have a 10,000k bulb in one, and a super actinic bulb in the other. In the evening when i get home, if i want to, i turn on both, but at night, i only turn on the actinic. It works great for a "night light" and is super blue...

i want to do planted but i dont know if its worth another 80 bucks just to have my fish eat the plants lol

 

[dhemp34]

i know i dont want to do planted....I just want fish....love blue lights..i

 

[mfdrookie516]

if you just want blue lights, just run down to the lfs and pick up some actinic bulbs for your existing lights... they do look pretty awesome

 

[Sonomakid]

yes yes they do... cant believe the diff it made on how my tank looked

 

[dhemp34]

but i want powerful too you know...the standard hood lights on my 55 i could replace them but i dont know if its going to be powerful enough to get it the true blue

 

[mfdrookie516]

I had one in one of my "stock" lights on a 55... did great. IMO its not worth wasting a ton of money on lights if you dont need them... you can buy a bulb for $20 that will do the same exact thing

great advice..will no buy new lights then...i'll just get the freakin bulbs...thanks guys....so why are people buying all these expensive lights on fish only tanks??

 

[Sonomakid]

most of them.. like me are planning on making their tanks planted

 

[dhemp34]

great...idea....the good lights just make you look like you know what you're doing...I'm building a canopy for my 55 and will be creating supports to hold standard lights...U guys opened my eyes on the lights. And i'm prob going to switch out my mixed fish to one genius.
