With MH, the actinics will be for your viwing pleasure only. They will provide little if any actual growth for your coral. They are great for a dusk dawn effect but other than that they will be...

I calculated with my rowaphos media about 105 gph before it would slightly boil at the surface. Some media is much more course than Rowa so it may require less flow.
