Fluorescent tube recomendation!
Hello all,
I'm on transiction phase. I'm going to disassemble my 90L tank so that I can make some reparations on my bedroom floor. The thing is that when I put it back on I plan to make several modifications. Nowadays I have a tnak canopy with 4 18w Osram Biolux tubes, and I plan to change that for 2 30w tubes plus a 18w Biolux in a suspended light gallery. I intend to use 1x30W Hagen Aqua-glo + 1x18W Osram Biolux + 1xNot yet decided. And that's my question. I cannot decide between the: - Interpet Beauty Light (low lumens,good spectral distribution); - Sylvania Aquastar (good color temperature, good lumens, not so good spectral distribution); - Arcadia Original Tropical (low color temperature, low lumens, very good spectral distribution). I would be very much appreciative on some advices on any one of these tubes... TIA paulo m. |

I want to avoid the bleached look!
I guess daylight is the way to go.
