Bulb Choices For biocube 8

[Hirobo]

I just picked up a biocube 8 and would like to change out the bulbs. I think current makes the best pc bulbs in 18 watts i was kicking around 2 10k/460 with the bulbs configured 10k/460 10k/460 or a dual daylight 10k/6700k and a 420/460 any opinions? I 'm only going to keep some zoas maybe a few acans and poss a piece of poci from my main tank

dual daylight and dual actinic will make your tank bright and yellow, which happened to me before. i would go with 420/460 and 10K/460. note that placement of the bulbs, front to back of the canopy, also makes a difference in what you see.

dont you think that would not be enough white light?

any other thoughts?

I didn't think current makes the straight pin setup that is needed for the biocube 8.

If yoy found where to get them please let me know

Thanks
