Giesemann 400w 13k bulbs
I am doing a new lighting setup and I am thinking about using Giesemann 400w 13k bulbs without and actinic suplimintation. Does anyone use a setup like this on there tank?, if so do you have any pics of how the tank looks. Also what do you think the best ballast to use is? thanks
