It is finally time to change up some lighting.
OLD
250w 14k Phoenix DE
2 Dual actinic 96w Power Compacts
NEW
250w 14k Phoenix DE
2 ATI Blue+ 39w
1 ATI Purple+ 39w
1 ATI True Actinic 39w
Powered by a VUE 660 w/ Aquatic Life reflectors.
(1 extra Ture Actinic purchased in case I don'y like the purple+ )
This is over my 65. Not a Huge change but if nothing else bulbs will be easier to get.
The plan is to swap the Power compacts to T5s first then swap the MH after about 2 weeks. Should I shorten the "on" periods at first also and gradually make the days longer? I normally have a ramp up period when I replace bulbs.
