Got my new light

[jtbadco]

From my experience with the Odyssea stock bulbs I suggest you ditch them all right away. I had real bad cyano problems immediately after installing the Odyssea lights on two different tanks. Went away as soon as I changed the bulbs to Geismann

Thanks for the heads up. I will get all new bulbs Don't want anything to go wrong.

Two thumbs up for your improved lighting. Glad your tank looks like a new tank. You'll have to post more pics with the new bulbs.

These light fixtures are a good deal for the price, but like the others say make sure u change the bulbs out. I've got the 4 bulb 24" with all kz bulbs and it puts out more than enough light. My bulb combo is coral 2nd gens and 2 super blues. Btw ur tank looks sick

Lighting is a very personal choice and if you love actinic bulbs then you love actinic bulbs :-) However, if you want a bit more PAR out of your bulbs but still retain the biofluorescent pop that actinics provide you then I would suggest KZ's 20K SuperBlue (or equivalent 20K T5 from ATI). It isn't an actinic bulb so it has more PAR yet it fluoresces corals quite nicely, similar to an actinic. I use them (KZ superblues) as accents on my Halide+T5 fixture. Just something for your consideration :-)

Also, I didn't know that T5 bulbs varied that much in price?

Thanks for the insight kien

Yah KZs are always $10+ more than ATI. Kinda bumpy!
