Hey all! So my old lighting fixture has been acting kinda crummy lately (namely one of the lamps would choose certain days on which it did not feel like working), and I decided it was time for an upgrade.
My lfs was having a pretty awesome sale, and I was able to get a dual bulb T5 lighting system (two 54 watt bulbs). Here's my question though: the kit comes with one daylight fluorescent bulb (the white bulbs), and one actinic bulb. I figured it'd probably be best to swap that actinic out for another daylight fluorescent bulb, but I'm having some second thoughts. Would there be any advantage at all to keeping the actinic on there? (I have an all male Peacock and Hap community tank, in a 55g).
