shane
my 400w is a 55. i supplement with 80w actinic 03 and i think it is great.
i will consider going to 65 but i'm not sure i understand the 10 or 20K
concept. i just can't imagine this is anywhere close to natural unless the
critters came from 60 feet down. as for the glow, i have em on timers so
late evening after the Mh shuts down damn do they glow! shane m.
