Hello again,
I have a question about lighting. I have a coralife deluxe pc fixture 48" 260watt and a 48" reg actinic flo 40watt. Totalling 300watts. Now the question is: The deluxe fixture comes with two 10,000k 65watt bulbs and two 65watt actinic bulbs. Do the actinics count in the wattage count for my reef or are they strictly for color and appearance? If they count I'm at 4 watts per gallon. If they don't I'm in trouble because I only have two 65watt 10,000k bulbs which would be 130watts. So to rephrase my questions:
Do 65 watt actinic pc bulbs produce any usable light for my corals?
How much of their light is usable if any?
Are they strictly supplemented for color?
and How about the 40 watt Flo light?
Should I purchase two more 65watt 10,000k bulbs for my fixture?
What is the most plausable form of action?
