CF Lighting for Softies and LPS

All__talk · 11/11/2009, 03:25 PM

I’m picking up a used 46g Bowfront this weekend with a two 96watt bulb CF fixture. I plan to upgrade at some point but will just put in fresh bulbs for now. Question is what color combo? 10k with 420nm or 10K with 460nm? One bulb of each or two 50/50 bulbs? Where is the best place to buy?

Thanks
Gary

I like 10K/420nm combos if that even exists (sorry, been out of the PC game awhile). But the common 10K/460nm works, although the blue IMO is alright (not my taste). Hope that helps.
