Good morning Barry,
This subject is still hotly debated with both sides having logical arguments. IME with running
VHO lighting only for the last 4 years, the actinic dosen't do a thing to help in regards to coral health (I sure as heck don't see it anyway). I have run several combinations over the years from 5 Aquasuns and one 50/50, to 4 Aquasuns and two 50/50, to 4 AquaSuns and two actinic (my current combination). I prefer the look of the 4 Aquasuns and two 50/50 and will go back to this combination on my next bulb change. Also some say that the Aquasuns appear pink to them, but for the life of me, and others who have looked at my tank, this is not the case on my system.
Also when i get the other 2 VHO i will have 440w and do you think that would be enough to have a clam ?
I don't keep clams, but from what I read, most would recommend metal halide if the clam is placed on the bottom of the tank.
