Lighting advice

[aquasteve]

I have a 72 inch Aquaticlife T-5 fixture which holds 8 - 39 watt bulbs. What mix of bulbs would you recommend for a FOWLR set up? Thanks for any help.

Help please

I'm just interested in what light combinations work best for a fowlr. For example 4 10000 k and 4 actinic blue. Please a little help guys

Since it's not an issue of growing corals it all depends on how you like the look of the tank. If you want it more blue you could go with 20k bulbs more white you could go with says 6 10k bulbs and 2 actinic blue. If you want to see the fish pop more than go more towards the actinic, if you want to see truer colors than more toward the whiter bulbs.
