Now that "hopefully" my vehicle woes are behind me for awhile, it's time to get back to the tanks. I'm redoing the 120 gallon and was thinking buying a Vecton 600 25 watt to run off HW-404B I have set aside. The highest level of sterilization is necessary given what is going in the tank so I just wanted to run that by before I buy....

Good idea. You would get a level 2 with about 200gph, so measure what your getting from the 404 after it reaches back to the tank. If those vehicles are giving you troubles, I'll come get them off your hands for you.

Oh silly me. I did have one more question. I was looking at a good TMC option for a blue night viewing accent light. I was thinking the Coral Colour Plus Ultima given the channel control with a controller. The tank's primary lighting are the AquaGrow 1500 Ultima (2)......

MIke It would be a little bit lighter blue, but would work. Or a couple marine blue 600 for longer spread, but they will be a bit lighter blue too. There's not a deep blue option if that's what your thinking.

Carl you are a mind reader. I was just getting ready to ask about those lol...... I would just be using them for temporary night viewing. The only reason I asked about the Coral Colour Plus is I noticed the light variety on Channel 2 of the light...

I run a Fiji blue on my saltwater tank and dim down my whites to just the fiji for the night light. It's a purple light... not really blue, which is why I didn't recommend it.

Interesting. Carl pulled the lights out and looked. The fiji does look blue... when all the lights are off. It's more purple when the overhead shop lights were on. I usually have some lights on in my living room, which is why I see purple.

Ooooh!! Do you have any pics? I'd love to see it... Mike I'll get one tonight. All I have are ones with the white lights. I was thinking about it too last night. I use the dinner down to like 10%. I wonder if that makes it look more purple.

So you use the smart controller on the Fiji Blue strip?? I run it off the standard controller, plus a on/off timer. I can't remember what it was right now, but I couldn't get the whites to go to 0% and fiji to 0% at separate times from the same controller, so I had to use an on/off time to cut the power and use two separate power supplies.

Have you ever seen what channel 2 on the Coral Colour Plus looks like on by itself?
