hi guys .i am just getting back into the hobby i have been absent for about 7 yrs and boy have things changed.i really need some input on a sore subject ( bulbs ).i have a 220 gal 72x24x32 with a 125 sump and a 58 refuge. the refuge and sump have been up for about 8 months the 220 went online 3 weeks ago.the system has 260lbs of fiji rock.a 4inch dsb,etss skimmer & geo calcium reactor.i just recieved my lights(maristar 72 inch 3x250 4x39 t5) i will be using 250 ice caps 220v .there are way too many opinions out their in all the threads for me to come to any conclusion on my own as to what bulbs to use.i think the evc 10k has the most par with my ballast but would like a little help.also which bulbs to use for the t5.do i go actinic or 50/50.i know everyone has different tastes but i am looking for what is best for my corals . by the way i will be keeping a mixed tank with sps,lps and softies.i have never tried sps before when i was into the hobby before they were not avalible and vho bulbs were the hot ticket.any help would be very much apreciated.thanks i hope i gave enough info.
