Thanks for you advice last week on my situation for a 4x54 setup. However, since then, I have decided to go w a 75g tank over a 55 and thusly plan to do 6x54.

I currently have 4x54 tek 5 retro kits. For two of the bulbs, I have icecap reflectors. The other have standard Tek reflectors. I plan to buy another 2x54 Tek 5 retro kit to complete a set of 6.

Based on your 4x54 recommendation, I already have the following bulbs:

Blue Plus
UVL Super Actinic
UVL Aquasun
Blue Plus

My questions are:

1. Adding the add'l 2x54 tek light, which 2 add'l bulbs should I buy to add to the 4 above and what order should they be placed in the tank?
2. Which bulbs in the new 6x arrangment should I put the icecap reflectors on?

Thanks much for your advice. I've read a good bit of this thread and you are the T5 oracle!
