    New Lighting Question

    I have a 40 gal reef tank and just received 2 x 96 w PC lighting. One bulb is 6700k daylight and the other is blue. Do you recommend the blue in the front? I keep my lights on 10 hr a day, would one go on before the other and stay on longer? I would appreciate any opinions. Thanks
