[volk23]

I have a 30g finnex glass nano tank, need to get new bulbs.

I like the blue shade of the light more then yellow. Dont know much about the lights :)

Whats a good brand, type of bulbs and a good place to buy them from? Anyone?

Thank you in advance.

I've looked thru 20 pages of lighting forum here, didn't really get much info other then only buy replacement bulbs from reefgeek. :)

Another thing i learned is that the right combination of lights is important. Getting all bulbs at 12K could bleach the corals. etc.

So, i'm still not sure what to get, i need 4 24w bulbs. I do like when the water has a blue shade more then yellow.

Mark, I just realized that you already answered my question above

I heard that ATI , AquaScience, Giesemann/D&D, UV Lighting, GE/Phillips Daylight, Narva and Sylvania lamps are the better ones. IMO go with the ATI bulbs for the daylight bulbs. For blue bulbs that you are looking at I suggest you look at either of the ATI Blue Plus, Giesemann Actinic Plus, AquaScience 22000K Blue, Narva and Sylvania blues.

Geissmann's are very nice. I've also used ATI's and UVL's. I like mark's recommendation. That'd give you really nice color. Esp if you prefer blue like myself.
