Please help me choose my lights

[Savas]

I have an Aquapod 24 and am upgrading to the Nanotuners 4.32 upgrade which doubles my light output to four, 32 watt T-5's lights - replacing my two, 32 watt T-6's.

I have light bulb options: 10,000 K sunlight, pure actinic, and a dual sunlight and actinic bulb. How would you configure the bulbs?

To hopefully get more responses, I am posting here rather than other forums.

Thank you for your input.

Nanotuners recommends two daylight and two actinic, but I thought I read actinic was not as useful to corals as daylight - above 8,000K. So my thought was one actinic, one dual, and two daylights.

Your advice is welcome!

It depends on what color you like. If you like more of a blue tint use more actinics. They can bring out the colors of coral and fish.

If you like a whiter look, use more 10K.

You could do all dual bulbs too.
