Hey guys, been pondering some alternative lighting.
I currently have 4 t5's, 2 white and 2 blue actinics.
The 2 whites will be replaced by 3 halides (2 venture and 1 blv for now). These whites will go to the sump for the chaeto, or I can leave the fittings and ballasts in there for 2 more blues... haven't decided yet.
Here's the kicker tho, I have a black light, one of those used in clubs, which makes white and neon clothing stand out. I used it in my old fw setup, and the plant growth was quite extraordinary. Can this light also be used in a marine setup? Would there be any advantages or disadvantages?
Could it maybe be used as a moonlight? Or maybe it's only suited for the chaeto growth in the sump?
What would you guys say, should I make some space for it?
