    Thats what i think i will do. My tank was doing great with the lighting that i got from them. Might as well stick with the same thing. The bulbs were cheap enough to where I can just replace them more often. Thanks Reefbruh

    You know I did not see the PC on your first post, sorry. I actually think that their PC work pretty well and last a boatload better than their T5's.

    I was referencing their T5's, they don't last but 6 months if your lucky and you can get a much better bulb for just a few dollars more.

    You can spend a few dollars more and get some name brand quality PC bulbs. They are more expensive for a reason and that reason is because they have a much better spectrum.
    Experience tells me that if you want the most out of your lighting, don't cut corners

    I'm really not trying to cut corners Im just having a hard time with the Bulbs, I dont want to change the lighting because i dont want to shock my corals. I know i need 2 12000k and 2 actinic, but trying to find a brand name has been hard because of the numbers and name brand bulbs dont just say actinic. so I get confused. i dont want to order something and then i get it and its definetely not what i want or need. So bottom line is, with the name brand bulbs Im confused.
