    Used it ,didn't like it.It depends how big your tank is,the Co2 diffusing is very slow.
    In my opinion a waste of money.Still have mine plus half cannister.

    Hi,

    why such completely different colour bulbs? why not just go for 2 daylights? or 6500ks? i do not think it would be aethestically pleasing?

    Well i did the lighting recently....All T8s
    The lights are
    1xPhillips lifemax TLD 865
    1xBlue
    1x Sylvania Aquastar 10k
    1x Sylavnia grolux

    Total wattage in the tank is 72watts, the Display tank is 90l so id like to add another tube.

    I would like the lighting to eventually consist of only 3x 6500ks and 2x sylvania grolux's
    i also added some vallisneria, and two java fern
