Hey guys I was wondering what kind of lighting will i need to keep BEGINNER corals with.Right now i have a standard actinic bulb and its too blue I think.I also have a florescent light that the aquarium came with and i was wondering if this bulb would work... http://www.marinedepot.com/24%22_Blue_Life_USA_SPS_T5_Compact_24W_V_HO_Bulb_V HO_Fluorescent_T5_Light_Bulbs-Blue_Life_USA-BL4111-FILTBUT5VH-vi.html

Thanks

Add a 10K bulb,that will whiten it up.

Ok thanks so all i need now is just a 10k white bulb and I can keep some mushrooms?

Id add a bulb that goes across the length of the tank, is your tank a standard 20 gallon or a 20 long? Mushrooms dont need much light but id get a nice 10,000k light over the tank so that they do well.

actinic with 10,000K always looks really nice on a tank, that is what I have. My mushrooms love it too!

Yea get some light green mushrooms and they will glow under the actinic lighting. And when i say glow i really mean glow, mine look like flashlights under actinic lighting.
