Ya...I guess. I really wanted to do that but in the end I guess this was just easier.

I bought two XM 20K bulbs today and even with my old reflectors and crappy light set up, they are great. Really like the color and you certainly don't need any actinics. They seem WAY brighter than I thought 20K would be.

I would have loved to have been able to get PAR readings before and after changing the bulbs. Would have been interesting to see the difference between year old 14K and brand new 20K. The new ones of course look 10 times brighter even though they are so much bluer.


Hahaha...I also just realized I forgot to dose ZEO again today. I am on quite the roll here. I did it all yesterday but have missed 3 of the past 4 days I really hate messing with the tank on a daily basis. I prefer just to watch it. Thats the funny thing...I must have spent like 2-3 hours today just sitting and watching the fish but it never occurred to me to dose the ZEO.
