Aquarium Advice Newbie
I am looking to increase the lighting in my tank so it is more habitable for corals. My tank is 40" long and 30" high/deep. I have put in about 8-10 hours of research and have not found an unequivical answer as to the best lighting system. MH sounds great but the heat factor might make this impractical. I was thinking of going icecap 430 ballast with VHO 36" 10K (95W) and VHO 50/50 Actinic (95W) and keeping my NO 30W white and 30W Blue actinic. This would give me 250W. Is power compact better? Should I try and get the watts 300 or 350? Has anyone heard of blue reef lighting? If so, is it better than actinic? All help is greatly appreciated Thank you! Jim
