One of my light fixtures isn't working properly. Out of eight total 39w bulbs, only six are turning on.
I would rather wait to get new fixtures when I upgrade my tank. In the meantime, can I use only 6 bulbs but extend the photo period? Should I use all my available slots for white bulbs or should I still include actinics?
Tank is 30" tall 120 gallons
Everything photosynthetic is layered with the things needing the mos light about 6" from the fixture. I do have one 6" crocea clam about 18" from the fixture.
The only things on the bottom of the tank are polyps, mushrooms, and trachyphilia which are partially shaded loving it.
