75 gallon pc's

I need 4 four PC bulbs, I have the fixtures, I just need suggestions on which bulbs to use. I figure one should be actinic, and the other three I wasnt sure.
thanks

I would use 2 actinic and 2 10,000 k daylight bulbs. If your ballast will handle it I would shoot for the 96 watt bulbs.

 

[LekicINC]

really 2 actinics? Do people agree? I am using 96 watt and have 2, 2 plug ballasts.


Do you mean 2 of these

definitely go with 2 actinics 210k daylights, makes for great coloring and should have good growth too. will make your zoa's and bright colors pop out!!

depends what you want....if you want looks do two actinics and two 10k's....personaly I would want a little more coral growth so I would have it layed out like this front of the tank to back of the tank

========= 10 k ==========
===== 10k/actinic 50/50 =====
========= 10 k ==========
======== actinic ==========

all personaly prefrence....do what you want
