Maybe I'm asking the wrong question

Thanks for the help. I made the mistake of getting a power compact fixture and didn't research how much I would be spending on bulbs every 6 months if I change them as recommended. I'm gonna go with Sunpaq bulbs 2 - 420 actinic & 2 - 10000K daylight. Drsfostersmith.com has these bulbs for $24 which is a cool $100 for me. Thats why I wanted input on the color of your tanks, I don't want to throw away a c-note 'cause I'm ignorant!

 

I hear ya, I wont be replacing the uvl 12000 when it comes time its a little pinkish for me. probably go with ati next.
