I will use vho for supplemental lighting for as long as they continue to make the bulbs. In my 15+ years in the hobby, NOT ONE SINGLE ACTINIC BULB CAN COMPARE TO THE UVL VHO ACTINIC LIGHT. That being said, I will never go back to a vho only setup. I had a 29 gallon running uvl white and actinic bulbs. The heat they put off was almost as much as a 150w halide and the overall color was horrible. I could only keep softies in that tank. LPS, SPS, and clams could not survive that setup.

If you don't want to use halides, then go with a t5 setup or look into led's. JMHO
