newbie has lighting question

[theshaman]

whats up everybody

i'm a new reef keeper and have a few questions about lighting.
i have a 2x2x2 60 gallon cube tank. in the canopy is a 250 mh 20,000k light. and 1 led moonlight. i know i need more lighting in a different spectrum but dont know what to get. my tank is new and only consist of 1 large brittle star, small brittle star, cleaner shrimp, blue spiny lobster, purple lobster, electric scallop, tomato clown, 3 damsels to feed my stonefish, and 2 anemones. they seem to be doing fine but i've heard i need more white light. i need RCs advice on this.

thanks RC,
theshaman

You didn't mention what types of corals you want to keep. With what you are keeping now, you don't need anymore light.

I run XM 20K's on my SPS tank and I supliment with actinic VHO's.

If you want them - it'll make your tank look a bit more blue.

Just like he said, you probably have sufficient lighting for the stuff you have in there now and most other corals - I wouldn't bother adding additional lighting or changing what you have unless you don't like the color or decide you want the whole tank crammed full of the most light-demanding corals you can find.
