Im sorry for all these questions I have a outer orbit 2-150mh and 4 39 t5
First question is I know its alot of light for a 40breeder but holy S@#T are these things bright.I dont have a par meter or anything I have the fixture about a 10- 12 inches off the tank IS that still too much light?
Second question the fixture was bought used so after the tank cycles before I add coral I want to change the bulbs I gonna go with 14k mh the t5 that are in there are 2 blue and 2 pink.. I like the brightness from the 10k mh thats there now but want a slight more blue tint should I get 14k and all 4 blues or 10k 4blues or 14k 2blue 2 pink? I seen some mh fixtures before but i am supprised how bright this thing is the whole room light up.http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag146/SteveZ15/mhpower_zpsedec060b.jpg
Here is a pic of fixture and height.
