FO Lighting
4 weeks in to my first fish only setup( i have always had reef tanks) just wondering what can-reefer's are using for lighting their fish only tanks.
i am running the bulbs that i had with the tank (reg freshwater florescent) so i am getting a lot of algae growth of course lol wondering if i should just change the bulb to a saltwater, or upgrade the whole thing?

nothing wrong with a 50 50 bulb,
The hagen glo-mats the 40 W series are a cheap lighting ballast and end connectors for a FO set up. if you g o to Home depot and pick up the 6500 K bulbs with the Actinic Normal flouresants then your lighting is done. 2 x glomats 2 6500 K bulbs and 2x Actinic bulbs DONE

Marineland doublebright LED fixture, with a 2 bulb T5 HO to fill in the dark spots.
I aim one of the powerheads at the surface and it gives the tank a great shimmer effect.
