Actinic lights provide a concentrated light wavelength that promotes photosynthesis. If only actinic lamps are used, however, the water color in the tank will be very blue which is not visually appealing and the light is not intensive enough for the other processes of the aquarium inhabitants.

What are the other process???

UV, Heat, and (intensity) at the right wavelength (peak absorption). are not provided full by antinic make day bulbs a Most

To have a successful reef aquarium, adequate light is absolutely required. Reef tanks contain soft and hard corals which harbor zooxanthellae. The zooxanthellae (symbiotic algae) must thrive in order for the coral to live. To do this they need the correct amount of light (intensity) at the right wavelength (peak absorption).
