Im concidering purchaseing this fixture from you.

1st- How long aftyer I order the fixture would you ship?
2nd- which bulbs would you recommend. I like a little blue but not to over due it :) I have a mixed reef with some sps and softies.

this was the suggested bulb config from tom @ Aquactinics
3 Ocean Pro & 2 Blue Pro ( or 1 Blue Pro and 1 UVL Super Actinic )


--TIA

Thanks Joe. Hope this is a fast enough response for you. The fixture should go out in a couple of days. I like Tom's suggestion on the lighting. I would place one of the super actinics in the front position if you want the aquarium to look a little bluer. If it's too blue then you can always switch lamp positions. Also the blue wavelength penetrates to greater depths and the front of the aquarium is usually the deepest...

:)

Your bulbs on your site are different than the ones on the Aquactinics site. Or am I missing something :) And yes great response time :)
