should I eventually add more actinic?

[marillion]

When I set my 40 breeder back up after the move, I'm strictly stocking it with low-light LPS. Blastos, lords, micros, scolymias, etc. I currently have a dual 150W 20k DE halide setup on the tank, but have room for one of those dual T5 78-watt fixtures. Should I throw that on there with the T5 being totally actinic?

Opinions and advice would be welcome, thanks!

Peace,

IT would be nice for morning and evening lighting. I run a 150 over my current tank and I am considering getting some sort of actinics for it too.

If you are just going with low light LPS, you may not even want to consider using the halide, some 10k T5's and T5 actinics would be fine for them, with additional feeding it would be great. You can burn LPS with to much light.

Just bumping this up...I'd like to hear more opinions.

Thanks.

BTW, this is the light I'm considering, save for the fact that it would be two actinic bulbs.
