They have a mix of 70/40. Right now they're in my canopy, so no choice on height. I'm working on that. The disco doesn't really get me anymore, I've gotten mostly used to it. But I do plan to try different heights, but have wife imposed restrictions on how that can be done

Oh, you got the ones with the 40s in them. That's even worse! Bah, it's not the wife's tank...

No, my room is the kitchen, I prefer she doesn't go in there. Maybe I should move the tank to the kitchen? lol

Oh that sounds dangerous... frying pan incoming. On the positive side you would never have to worry about Radiums or sps again ;-)

Brad, I think you should try 3 X 24inch fiji pinks to supplement in between the sols. It will be the most cost effective way. I also need you to come by one day and check out my tank. I bumped the whites to 80% at the peak and 100% for both blues, to be my surprise I am getting more colors out of some of the paler ones. To be honest I love my sols and if I can get the red spectrum covered then they should be fine. you need to come by!!!

What color is your pink and blue milli?

I have mine at 85/100/100, so very close with brighter white. I should be over first week of December. I should stop by

Mostly blue with a bit of red....hence the T5 fiji pink.

See., that's the issue. It used to be more pink with blue highlights.
