Where can I buy the Blue lights? home Depot?



The Blue ones I am referring to came from my LFS.

Check out the coralife brand.

In my 125g I have 6 20 watt bulbs, 2 are actinic 03 and four are
powerglow.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about turning on (via a timer)
the
two blue actinic lights say 30 minutes before you turn on all the
lights
and
leave them on for 30 minutes after the powerglo's turn off. This
could
simulate sunrise/sunset. Anyone have any experience? Did you use
actinic
blue or another color? I woulnd't be adverse to putting in a fourth
set
of
lights for the purpose of the sunrise/sunset part. What is a good
color?
I
like the blue because its not too bright even though its 40W over a
125g,
the equivalent wattage of powerglo's makes it bright (not a dim
sunrise/sunset). Should I step down to a smaller bulb for this and
put
in
say a 10W ballast in each light hood?

Thanks




I do the exact same thing with my 180. I have 2 actinic bulbs in the
back
and 2 regular bulbs from HD in the fron. I manually turn on the blues
ones
first for about 10 minutes before the white ones and turn off the blue
ones
last at night. That way they dont get freaked out.
