I've never seen a tank illuminated by "Neon Tubes" before...

Would be rather gaudy, I would think!;D
Only kidding, wish they did a model for the States.

 

Lol Thats what i thought so i emailed them and they assure me there T5, also picked off a few of his recent and late customers that bought exact same thing they also assure me it is a great product and that the inverts and corals thrive, they all have good things to say about it, so yes i did my homework first before i bougt, :thumbs_up

 

great unit there!! I dont think there would e anything that you couldnt keep with that unit. Just remember when you get it - to replace a few of the bulbs with blue actinics

 

Oh Definatley getting some blue actinics in there, just gonna use 4 to 6 bulbs for now while its cycleing and a fowlr, then add when 6-8months old along with a anemone or 2...

 

Dont get 2 - one is more then enough, anemone are quite difficult to look after!!

Carful if you are only going to run so many bulbs at first - as evaporation can get into the ballasts of the ones with out bulbs. Cover them up with clingfilm tightly!! - Probably just easier to run all the bulbs!

 

those sound good!! and anemones are awesome things to have, never a dull moment with 2 or more!! they keep ya on ur toes

 

Nice one guys cheers, will keep ya posted when i set them up...

 

Ok got me lights up today.

They 8x39white white, thinking of putting a few actinics in 2 or 4, whats best i want a anemone eventually? i heard you can get bulbs like 40% white and 60% blue?
