Mantis Tank Lighting -Q for Grim

[ufdent98]

Grim,
I'd like to echo all the thanks people have expressed for your time and consideration helping us all have tanks that look great.

Question:
I've got 2x24W T5 bulbs over a 26g bowfront set to house a N. Wennerae Mantis shrimp. An old A4 by icecap for someone else ballast.

I'm going to be adding soft stuff, mostly zoas.

What is the darkest/deepest blue bulbs for the tank that will support zoanthids?

That is, I want lamps that aren't "bright" but will help the colors on the mantis and the coral.
