totally confused by lighting

[littlereef]

Ok...been reading about lighting and have no clue. We have a 25g bow front tank. We have a lighting unit with two bulbs that come in the same time. 2p-9p. White- t5 HO 10000k 18w BA
Blue- t5 HO 420/460 18w WAC
Tis is what the guy st the store tild us to get. At first we just had a royal gramma, goby, 2 chromis and shrimp. We recently added a GSP, red mushroom & green fuzzy mushroom corals. People keep talking about moon lights and LEDs....do we need those ? Do we need to add another unit like we have or are we ok?

That lighting will be perfectly fine for soft corals. The moonlights are just for your viewing pleasure at night and are usually just a couple low wattage leds.

No, moonlights aren't needed. I did get some cuz i was always using a flashlight to see what was going on at night. Lol. and LEDs aren't a necessity either, I got them just because I like the shimmer effect they cause on the bottom of the tank.
