Lights for a 55 gal reef tank (pc bulbs?
Hi, I have a question about PC replacement bulbs. It seems the more I read the more unsure I am about what would be best (many brands, choices). < Tell me about it. I've been thinking that for years. > I have a 55g tank with a Coralife 260w PC setup, 2 bulbs Actinic and 2 bulbs 10,000K. Now it seems intensity is more important than color range first and foremost. < No, I'd say they are really equal. > but I have been thinking it may be better to change the Actinic to 50/50. thus giving me 75% 10K and 25% Actinic. Would this help out my wide variety of soft/LPS corals? < Well here is what will happen. Your corals will grow faster, but won't have as nice of color. Personally I wouldn't change. > I have also seen bulbs from Sunpaq that are 6700K/10000K and Actinic/7100K. Now I can’t find much info on the use of these, but they do seem to cover all bases and seem to make sense as well. Is this just marketing or will this be any benefit. I realize the overall aquarium look can change and al
