Whats the best way to get my radium/iwasaki light to mix?

Whats the distance between the bulbs and your refectors?


Thanks

hi Jack,

I used to have both Iwasaki and radiums on a 3 ft tank. The colour difference is too great. One side is completely yellow, other side is completely blue. I went with 10K + 20K instead.


Best way to mount them in a hood is mount them perpendicular to the front of the glass and side by side (i.e. in a same reflector). The colour will blend better. Hope this answers your question.
