Coral lighting question

[Brenden]

I am getting more into corals now so I am planning to add additional lights to my tank. I currently have 14k MH lighting. Do you recommend I just add more MH, or should I add antic? If MH which one? 10k, 14k, or 20k.

If you already have enough wattage per gallon then you could go with PC. And for the color temperature of your lamps I have found that for coral growth and well being 10K is the best. And for looks without sacrificing much growth 13-14K are the ones to use. Myself, I use 10Ks supplemented with actinics.

I am wanting more wattage so I am guessing from what you wrote I should stick with 14k instead of purchasing 10K and also antics.

Stick with the 14ks, just add more.
