Lighting Requirments

[Larry Adams]

Has anyone used the VHO Bulbs called AQUASUN or would you continue to use CORALIFE? http://www.lampsnow.com/aquasun.html.


What types of bulbs would I need.

2 VHO
2 NO

29 Gal
Remora Skimmer
190 Watts of light
3 RIO 600
40 pounds of live rock
5 inch sand bed
5 Turbo snails
2 Tomato clowns
Green Button Polys
Mushrooms
Brittle Star
Cucumber

Someday I want to get some different types of corals. Maybe next summer after I retire from the Military. I really want to get some coral but I don't know the problems with moving them.


Thanks

Larry

Which Aquasun should I use for VHO (50/50 or Actinic) and which for NO (50/50 or Actinic)

Thanks

I would run two daylight VHO's and the NO's as actinic. I really don't think the manufacturer of the bulbs makes that big of a difference when we are talking URI or Coralife.
