Hello everyone, im getting a 36" retro fixture from Hamilton with two 400w 14k MH and I have the option of getting either 95 watt or 30 watt VHO. Or I can get 96 watt or 65 watt power compacts in either actinic, 7100 blue, or 2 in 1 10k/03.
Which combo would you say is best? Do you guys think this is a good fixture in the first place? its like $800 so im sure there are other options, any suggestions? Is the 14k Hamilton a good bulb or are there better ones? I noticed the Ushio 14k is more expensive, is there a good reason for this?
Sorry for all the questions...Im a newbie and am starting a new 130 gal quarter cylinder tank. This equipment is a huge investment for me and I want to make sure that I do it right the first time.
Thanks for any and all advice!!!Please Help!!!
