Lights

[penyu]

Hello there, I need some advice from experts here. I'm currently using a Pl light and it came with a bulb which is white and pink. I am thinking of getting a new one. Should I get a blue bulb or blue and white? Thanks in advance.

u hav any actinic supplement?

if u dun hav n if u wan better colour, then u can consider blue/white... better still actinic/white...

where to get actinic/white bulbs? ALl I can find is blue/white.

Why not jus get 1 blue and 1 whit instead on the blue/white combination. this way, you can simulate moonlight for your corals. instead of switching off at one shot.

I think I'll just get the blue/white bulb. Thanks everyone. Oh ya, where do u usually buy your Pl lights?

i tink corallife PL tubes comes in 50/50 ( actinic/white ) instead of blue/white...

becos of that, it's much more ex. than other blue/white PLs...

dun noe bout other brands...

that's 1 advantage...

the other advantage being a white/white will be hav more intensity n benefit ur corals more

I'm having problems searching for my PL bulb. i'm using a 24 watts PL light and the length is aproximately 38cm. Does anyone knows where can i get the Pl bulbs. I've tried Rainbow but its out of stock.

I bought PL tubes from Pasir Ris PLot D, where one shop sells accessories and one shop sells LS. Paid 20 SGD for one PL 11W (Blue and white). Actually how to tell if blue or actnic?

most PLs now in the market are blue/white... the diff is that for pure actinic, it peaks at 420nm, effectively, ur corals flourese better in this light... for blue, it's just a blue light, ur corals will pick those color spectrum that they can use...

to find out whether u hav an actinic/blue, check out the color spectrum graph on its package.... if it onli vaguely mentioned blue, most likely it's a blue.... else they will show u a peak at 420nm to boast to u bout their quality

Is the price reasonable at 20SGD each?

[sinner]

the hardest pl to find is 24w it's almost impossible to find a 10k they'll only have red/white or blue white... 6500k are avb too

I went to E-Aquarist in the afternoon but unfortunately they also dont have the required size. Seems like my required watts and size is so difficult to find. Bought some nice mushies there instead. Hahaha
