2. Actinic White 110w (blueish when on to)
3. Coralife 10,000k 40w (1 and 1/2Dial T12) Fluorescent
and on the 4th its an old just white when its turned on (sorry i dont really know what kind the old bulbs where because it was a used set up with them already being used and was never told what kind of lighting it was)

There will be others who know more than me, but I thought the 6700k was a good light for coral growth? I have this light in my dual daylight. I also have a dual actinic... I don't know what an actinic white is?
If I were doing it, I think would get a dual daylight, and either 2 blue actinics or a dual actinic. I currently have the dual actinic, but I may get the straight blue actinics next time I order bulbs.

im just really confused with the whole lighting area, i have learned alot in the last year but dont understand the lighting, i read u need 4 watts per gallon in ur tank if u have fish and corals, my tank already looks so much brighter and better with the news ones I have put in and next week im adding the new 4th one, I just want to make sure this is ok.
