I found a new brand of bulbs, their Blue life. THey have 6700k, 15000k, 20000k and actinic. They also have Pc and Mh bulbs. They dont seem to expensive either. Has anyone used any of their bulbs? ------------- Ron 20g 60x turnover 30" current pc fixture |

| When it comes to T5 bulbs you get what you pay for. The cheap stuff is cheap for a reason. ATI bulbs are the best bang for your buck right now. They have the highest PAR available and have been known to hold up better then other bulbs. |

Ok, but these are priced the same as ati. They also have pc bulbs, and seeing how i cant use pcr's I'm looking for the next best thing. I just titled it as T5HO because I was trying to pass info. ------------- Ron 20g 60x turnover 30" current pc fixture |

If they are priced the same as ATI I wouldn't consider them. IME I would rather go with the proven products. JMO

No, it is a quickly dying technology that has very limited usage over our tanks.

Well I would like to upgrade to T5, but it will be a little bit to get the funding for that.
