Hello, I have a 20h and I am putting a 175w 10k MH on it. Iam also going yo use a 36w PC for actinic.
1st Do I need more actinic?
2nd Is this enough light for ALL sps?
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Thanks :D

that lighting set up sounds fine on a 20H. i don't think you'll need more actinics, but that really depends on your taste. 10K will give you a crisp white. 36W of actinic will probably just give your corals a slight flourescence.

if you can, please post pics when you get it set up. This is the set up I have been thinking about.

2x36w should look good w/ a 10k. if you run a 20k it will look terrible

or you could just run a 20k and save the actinics for dawn/dusk...that is what i am doing
