WOOO an advancement!!! I bought my lightfixture. I had to get something cheap but good. I could no longer go with the nova extreme I originally wanted because of cost and the lesser nova extreme 2x39 was not HO and after reading many reviews, very cheaply made (broken bulbs, etc) AND when compared to the hagen glo was basically crapola.
So, I purchased the Hagen Glo 2x39 HO T5 36" model. I would like to get geismann bulbs to put into it but what combo would be best for my future corals. I want their colours to really shine and i want them to be super healthy too. I know under 2x39 T5 HO i can keep softies My list includes: rics, zoas, cloves, shrooms, xenia, and possibly devils hand leather with green polyps. I know i can keep some lps My list includes: hammer, frogspawn. My second question (1st was about bulb combo) is what other Lps can I keep should I want any? Some people say brain, plate coral, acan, and blasto. Some also say you can keep sps under those lights (I dont think so) but suggestions were pink birdsnest, and monti. I would like to get the list straightened out so I know what my limits are. Thanks in advance.

I read a few threads about bulb combos but with a 2 bulb fixture its difficult because all the combos were for 4+ bulb fixtures.
Here are my bulb options Im looking at the Giesmann bulbs and my choices from JLAquatics.com are: Powerchrome - Midday (6000K) " - Aquablue+ (15000K) " - Actinic+ (2200K) " - Pure Actinic (421nm) I want a blue look where the corals really pop. But I want them to grow. I dont really like the pinky look. HELP!!!!

So I ended up finding where to get ATI bulbs *THANK YOU PROGRESSIVE REEF*
Im going to get the Blue+ and the Aquablue special. But holy poop the shipping cost is killing me. The total cost for the 2 bulbs will be $103 From the store to my house. WOW almost as much as my fixture lol

Hi all,
I know this project is going very slowly. I was waiting until I got back from Newfoundland to get started. Well I had to come back early for a family emergency. My dad was very sick in the hospital with Lung cancer. It was a surprise to us all. I spend 25 hours with him before he passed away. Im still not over it as it just happened July 6. But I realize more than ever that life is short and you never know when you will go so I just spent the money and bought everything I need for my salty tank today. The stand still needs to be built and who knows when that will be done now. My grandfather has now also become very ill so who knows. Its been an awful month and I need a little happiness in my life about now. Im hoping the start of this tank will help.
