JaredWaites: thnks for your words.

Joshua76: Mid day bulbs (6,500 k) promotes algae growth. In my opinion is a good option to use 10,000 k minimum. The ideal would be 60% (10,000 k) and 40% (20,000 k) but with 4 bulbs you can’t do this combination. Try to use 3 aqua blue (10,000 k) and 1 actinic (20,000 k) if you want to grow corals with acceptable colors. If you want to get more color even sacrificing growth, use 50/50. I wonder your feedback.
