New light problem
« on: May 13, 2013, 08:07:55 PM »
When I received the 75 I got a new light with it. The tank used to be salt water tank so the light is very bright I dimmed it down with some tint over my glass it just seems the fish do not like it is this a permanent or temporary dislike? Should I change bulbs I know that they are reef ready since this was a salt tank before? Just wondering what I should do or any other suggestions?

I have two 48" Coralife salt fixtures on my Peacock tank.  4 bulbs total.  Two white, two blue.


I love a LOT of light and the fish don't seem to care one bit.

I think its personal choice, there are some High watt bulbs for saltwater but those are for corals and very deep tanks, so I'm sure you will be ok

If you are interested I have a 48" Coralife Freshwater light, we could trade?

I actually want a 48" HO bright light.
