I am looking to buy PC lights for my 10G. For right now I have 2 15w t-8s... I have a condy that needs more light. Any suggestions> i have been lookin at one site that has 2 dif to choose from a) Orbit 80 watts w/ Lunar $99.99. B) 96 watts bulbs inculded $92.99.... Do i need a lunar light? Would it help the Condy? Or is it just for looks at night? :help:
 
I personally think the lunar lights are more for us than them. That much blue light is a lot more than reef organisms experience at night, even with a full moon. Either is probably OK, more intensity is better in my opinion.
 
You think i should go with the Aqualight 96 watts then?????? I like that deal better anyway. The buld are included and the price is a little cheaper...
 
Actually, now that I have thought a little more, I prefer having independent control of the two watt lamps. You can have the actinics on longer for a dawn/dusk effect. You can either use the lunar light or not.

So, should i look for something that is dual controlled? So i can run them like i want?
 
I didnt know that Condys need alot of light when i got him (LFS didnt tell me anything) So slowly i have been adding more here and there. Are there any sites that have cheap shipping that you know of? Most of them that i have looked at is not under $40?
 
anyone?
 
oh yeah that is cool!!! i can order them Thursday then!!!!
