Re: Nova Extreme Pro
it looks like the 3000k would really grow some algae too.

Re: Nova Extreme Pro
I was thinking of two 420nm bulbs instead of one. then one 50/50 actinic of some sort such as the ATI bulb you suggested. but, you're the lighting expert. to make a long story short, i'm just looking for something to bring out the colors more, without loosing too much PAR, or making my tank look too blue.

Re: Nova Extreme Pro
Ideally,replacing all the bulbs would be the best thing to do.The slimpaqs aren't great but they still work,thats why I mentioned three bulbs.Sure,the more you replace the better.
Trust me on this,ANY daylight bulb will grow algae.Nutrient will play a larger role.When it comes to lighting,whats good for nuisance algae is good for corals.They do have symbiotic relation with the algae in their tissue after all.

Re: Nova Extreme Pro
well, I had a major setback. came home to a freaking busted hot water heater tonite
 so, there went 2/3 of the money that I had saved to buy lights with. why couldn't this happen in say....JULY! I could have made it a week without hot water then. but, since it's december......

Re: Nova Extreme Pro
nova xtreme pro is on sale, i'm thinking of getting one after tax returns so i can get my power bill down, our power company been raising bills around here been big issue even on news channels so i could save money switching from halides and heat issues to no heat issues and lower power consumption. But i will change bulbs to ati and geisemann bulbs.
