Derasa, hydro and milli,s on the bottom also look fine.

My fixture only has a couple of 18w actinic supplemental bulbs so while they give a nice evening look, dont add much to the par, so whatever light, is mostly from the Phoenix.
Good to know.

All of my SPS are within 22" or so from the bulb. The only things that has shown good growth had been hystrix & monti caps.

Anyways, I just picked one up so it'll be good to see how it compares to my Current-USA-comes-with-the-fixture cheapo bulb.

Thanks again Doug.
