I have a 55 gallon tank and now I have 2 36" sunlight supply 2 bulb T5 lights which as you can imagine is not long enough or enough light for my 48" long tank, but I got them both for $50 so it was hard to pass up, they work for now.
However, I am looking soon at getting a 4 x 48" fixture to use along with the 2 36" (if I can fit all of them I know I'll at least be able to fit the 48 and one 36), which would give me more than enough light.
So since I will be adding more lights soon, I was wondering what the best configuration for the bulbs would be as far as color temperature. Right now I have 2 actinic bulbs and 2 I think they are 10k maybe. Each fixture has one of each (actinic and normal). I have a couple of small soft coral frags and am planning on getting lots more coral over time, maybe even hard corals to. What would be the best color temperatures to use with these and the configuration for the bulbs?
