I originally posted this in the lighitng forum, but was suggested I may have a better response in DIY. So here goes.
I am looking to add the 12 led dimmable actinic kit to my tank to give me more viewing time outside of running the MH. I am not looking for growth attaining par numbers, just for viewing. I will ramp them up and down via my Apex. My question is, is the tank "viewable" with just the royal blues that come with the kit, or would I be better served adding a couple UV's or cool whites? The kit's configuration is a 24" long x 1.4" wide heatsink. This will be hung at the front of the tank out of the way of the lumenbright pendant. Any suggestions or ideas for led choices? Or just leave it how it comes?
Thanks
Drew
