Hi all Im new to the board. I have had an aquapod 24 with the Sunpod 150w 14k lighting for a couple months. The thing thats bugging me is that it doesnt seem to bring the colors out in my corals. They seem to be white or faded looking if i use the blue nightlights they glow good. I tried changing to a 150w 20k but that doesnt look much diffrent. I was considering getting the Current USA 24"Outer OrbitMH and PC & Lunar StripDimensions:24" x 15" x 4.25"
# of Bulbs & Type: 1 150 HQI 10k Metal Halide, 2 65w Dual Actinic 420nm/ 460nm
Total Wattage: 280 watts
# of Moon White Lunars: 4i heard the actinics would bring out the coral. Does anyone have any other feed back on this idea. I will try and put some pics of my tank up. Thanks John
