i enjoy my biocube 29g hqi, but
i was wandering are there any idea for installing an actinic light? right now i have a current usa led light (the $16 one) it looks great, but i would love my zoas to show off at night, and the current usa led provides enuff light for looks. any suggestions. btw if you don;t know the light is an arm light. or should i change the bulb. the bulb is 14k. basically looking to give the tank that light purple/blue look. i have a moonlight already, but looking for something to have on at dusk, but keep my zoas opened

you may want to try a 20k. its more blue and that will bring the colors out even more.

Change bulb to a Phoenix 14K. It has all the actinic you need.

If you have a glass top, you could also try Powerbrites. Put three of them in a triangle. They make things look fantastic.

thanks for the ideas, it does have the glass top, but for the price of three led powerbrites i could get a new double ended 14k, or 20k bulb, and less plugs . great ideas guys, i was thinking about getting a 20k but will look in the 14k phx
