Lighting Anemone question

[bluerug]

I have a question for everybody. I am in the process of buying a T5 lighting fixture 4 ft with 4 54 watt bulbs. Ok this is the real question, i have a choice when it comes to bulbs and the choices are either 6500 or 3500 k, Pure Actinic Plus or True Actinic, Aquablue, Midday, Blue Actinic Plus or Blue, these are the choices that i have. What i was going to do was get two 6500 bulbs. one Pure Actinic Plus, and one Blue Actinic Plus. Is this a good combination of bulbs? If not which ones should i go with, all help would be great.

Anyone know?

Your choice sounds good, although a 6500k sounds more like a freshwater plant bulb... What color temp is the "midday"? If it is a little higher than 6500k, I might go with that instead.

antinics are for astetics only, and ive read will make some anemones wander. if thats true or not i dont know, but all they need is a daylight bulb, somewhere between 6500-10k

6500 K bulb are what anemones prefer best from what I have read and from my experience. Pure actinic will give the tank a nice color and will help with coraline algae and such. But I would go with the combo of what you said Bluecarpet.

good info. now i know why all of my anemone ended up at the corner where I have 10k bulb on. Anybody know if 6500 will be fine for other LPS too?

 

[bluerug]

Yep 6500 k are great from a growth stand point from what i have been reading.

LPS also like the actinic.
