    actinic vs 10k

    Okay, so I have a 2x96W ballast. I have a 96W 10k bulb, 96W actinic, and a 96W smartbulb (half 10k, half actinic). Question is, which 2 bulbs would be best for my tank (zoos, xenia, a few small sps, and a BTA). Any thoughts would be great, thanks.

    how low is low light?

    Okay this is a really weird question... Would 192W of PC light on a 30g tank (36"x12wx19h) be considered low lighting or med light? Would I be able to keep more than shrooms and zoos in my tank with this (read as: can I have GSP and other cool things)? Thanks for any input
