t-12 vho bulb choice
ok its come time for me to replace the bulbs on my 125 and there is 4 six foot t-12 vho bulbs and i have been running 2 actinic white and 2 super actinic. after looking at the web site that i normally order my bulbs from i am having a hard time cosing what bulbs i want to run they offer actinic white, 75/25,super actinic, 454,aqua sun and indigo sun bulbs i really dont want to buy 2 of each to play with so i was hoping some one else has an all vho set up and could help guide me in the right direction. i have a lot of zoanthids and palys that dont color up as well as i would like and alot of lps corals and i have been adding sps and would like to get some good growth out of every thing thanks for your impute Dan

i was thinking of going with 2 actinic white,1 super actinic and 1 454 i looked around on this forum and seems like this is a bulb combo that will support sps and will give good coloring Dan
