And they fluoresce more also...LOL Oh yea, he just said that.
Using fluorescent Actinic as a supplement was the way to go once upon a time but now a new breed of MH's (XM,10k,15k 20k etc.) allows us to have the best of both worlds but still can't be dimmed. Creating a dusk and dawn with PC (HO T5 is a PC by the way), VHO Is nice.
Mike, I like your way of thinking, I'm lucky to of discovered the people of RS. Maybe I'm wrong but thinking one local group of threads the cover the basis of what you just posted would be ideal. I mean a place I can tell a newbie ok, start here for the beginning, for there with just a minimal of links as not to throw then off to much, make it gradual in steps of learning, so when the time comes I can build my new tank, oh I mean the newbie's can have a written set of guidelines to see for themselves like you stated but this would cross over from basic set-ups, then BB or DSB etc..then Lighting, other equipment filtration chemicals & testing etc, BUT all is started at one common point, the beginning, with just one line to the next step (of information) etc.. Call it The Steps!
