I finally have my 75 gal tank set up. Still trying to decide on lighting. I will go with T8 lights, but wonder whether I should have both the pink light(for color enhancement), which I would like for red discus and also a 10,000K full spectrum bulb. Is one bulb enough? I will not have any plants.

+1 Ever since you mentioned those in another thread warlock I picked me some up and yes they are sweet. I had two 40w flourecent at first but never again. It's very low wattage but my crypts and anubias are still doing well and the led shimmer effect looks great.

Yes they are quiet nice amazon has them 36-48" for 109.99 with free shipping and handling. Very good deal IMO. Btw its being used I'm my avatar, and as usual pics do little justification. My video may do a little better even in poor quality.

Can't get url but look up discus biotope on YouTube. It was added two days ago. Channel name- thezchauvin.
