Brianemone Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 I've seen these in a few pics around, im guessing they are some type of actinic lighting or vho or whatever. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=97f2e40fe0b28aba75b3a2f4d107189c&threadid=646829 the reason i ask is ive never seen them in NZ but some of the tanks that ive seen them on have some great colours.

lduncan Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Some UV a/b lamps have a pink tint to them. Something in the phosphors. I guess that's what they are? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 They could just be your usual grolux lights, they're pink. I don't think there's any real reason to use them in a marine tank. They should bring out reds a bit, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
