    After all the experimenting I finally found the look I wanted. I have a 8 bulb TEK fixture and just wanted to share my thoughts and combo I am now using. I have in this order.... 2 - super actinic's, 1 - 75/25, 2 - 454's. 1 - 75/25 and 2 - super actinic's. Great combo with the blue I wanted but not over board with the blue.

    well I followed the link to your Tank thread Scenario1313
    expecting to find the updated pictures under the new lighting scheme

    they are not there?

    some before and after shots would be ideal IMHO
