Please help with light bulbs?

Please help me with what bulbs to get...
1) 65W Compact Fluorescent Bulb (Daylight 12000K)
2) 55W Compact Fluorescent Bulb (Full spectrum 6,400k)
3) 55W Compact Fluorescent Bulb (Intermediate spectrum 6,700k)

Yes this is for my 90. I have two power compact strips each hold 4 sets. I already have 4 actinics but need to choose the white bulbs.

Thank you for helping

 

14k 400w MH's

PC's didn't they go out with 8-Track players. ;D

 

First off the fixture will require a specific wattage. I believe it is based on length. So the 65W or the 55W don't mix.
If you plan on different corals like LPS you will need different lights. I'm not going to get into a debate about T5 and MH but I would say you will need to look into those as options not just adding more PC lighting. It just doesn't cut it for Coral. So if your sticking with soft coral like what you have, I would figure out what wattage you need. Personally I'd stick with the 6500K to get optimal light output form a PC.

But I'll say it again. If you plan on going into different corals, like Brain, Bubble, Hammer or Frogspawn. I'd stop spending money on PC and look into T5 or MH

ok I found this...what do you think? to good to be true? I will get a different bulb than what he has. Should I get two?

 

I don't have the 8-track but I still listen to vinyl. It has a much richer truer sound than cds

 

That looks good but you would need two, one for each side of the tank. Also, you need a canopy to build it into. Meet those two requirements and you'll be golden.

 

I have the canopy to attach them to. I might have to get these one at a time.

Thanks

 

They look good. I would also take some time and price a retro kit form other sources. Maybe Premium aquatics or Marine depot. The benefit of getting a kit like that one is as you need to you can upgrade different components.

I'd go for it. Can't beat $80.

so you like the EVC 14k bulbs?

 

I though MH's went out with dvd's, T-5's are in like blue ray!
