Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm pretty new to the world of metal halide lighting. I recently purchased a custom-built used canopy for my 92 gallon corner tank which has a 400w, SE metal halide fixture in it. I'm now in the phase of experimenting with what kelvin option I like best and have had a 20,000K in there. It's nice to look at but my corals don't seem to be doing that great. I just put a 5500K in there but it's much too yellow for my preference (even though the corals already seem to be responding better). So I'm on my way to pick up a 10,000K, but my husband asked me a question which has me wondering..... is there any type of converter or fixture that I could plug into the mogul that would then allow me to use two different bulbs in that fixture? Obviously since the ballast is for 400 watts I would have to use two-200 watt MH bulbs, but then I could really go nuts playing with kelvin combinations.
Is something like that possible or feasible? Does such conversion equipment exist?
Thanks in advance.
