Nano Lighting.

Just traded a light fixture for a Oceanic 14 Gallon Biocube. It comes with 2 24w pc. One is 10k the other is actinic. Nanotuners has a retor kit that I could add another 50/50 10k actinic bulb. giving me 72w total. Anybody think its worth the $80 bucks to do so? Other than being able to replicate sunrise/sunset better anybody think I will gain anything?

also adding a Sapphire Aquatics skimmer. That should be sweet!




Thanks!



~Caleb

you will gain a little more growing power if adding another 10K

Sounds good to me. I use 2 10k bulbs in my BC will no ill effects ( but I've been told not to do so )

What do you plan on keeping in the BC?

I planned on keeping some softies. I have an open brain that my Potters Angel wont leave alone so I will be moving it to the cube. My main concern is not wasting my money on the lights if it wont make much of a difference.
