Light Configuration?

What the best configuration for power compacts. Going over my 55g. 48in with 4 bulbs. 2-50/50, 2-12000k, or 4-12000k. Just wondering before i order.

It all depends on what you want to keep, for compacts only I prefer 2-10K and 2-atinic 03. just my thought. good luck.

Re: Light Configuration?

Some anemones, which was the reason for the ?. I also have some soft corals I will frag and put in the other tank. Anemones need lots of light, so I dont want to slowly starve them.
