Too much Actinic???


I love the look of that deep blue sea that I get with lots of actinic. I am due to change some of my lights. I currently have 2 65watt dual daylight from sunpaq and 2 65watt dual actinic also from sunpaq. Can I change the daylights for 2 65watt 50/50 's? Is that going to affect the amount of light my inverts are recieving?

Thanx.

Should be OK with the 50/50, if you like that look. It might take your corals a week or two to readjust to the new light, your mileage may vary depending on what you have

Should be OK..

Back when i had PC....I'd run one 10K, One 50/50 and two actinics. Everything was fine for the 18months I had them like that.

I too like the bluer look.
