globaldesigns is on a distinguished road

I have played with many configurations, and bought several bulbs, both MH and compact PC

Just today I changed it again. I am now running Ushio 10K 2X250W, with 96W PC's 420nm/460nm (Blue Actinics with Royal Blue)

I must say this is the nicest config yet.... Water is bright with blue but not too blue, and I benefit by having 10K for growth.

This is what I would recommend.

If you are using 96W 4pin configuration PC's, and if you are ever in Cowtown, I can give you a good deal on 50/50's... They are only a few months old, but that is what I just pulled out... I was just running Phoenix 14K with them, before I just switched things today again.
