is just blue lighting ok

[dempseyjosh]

right now my nano has 50/50 lights. is it ok if it had just the blue lights? a lfs had some tanks like that and you can really see the nice color of things. is this ok?

its fine. your coral will not grow very fast but it will bring out the color more. Id look into a 20000k bulb and see how you like its colors

I run 20k's with 4 blue attnic bulbs. - My corals grow well..... Very blue/white. - But thats what I want/like

Can you buy MH set ups with 14k or 20k bulbs w/ them?
Seems like every MH set up you buy has 10k or lower bulbs. Which means you then have to spend more money on bulbs. I'd love to have some MH retro fits with 14k bulbs in them.
14k bulbs are bluer than 10k right? Noticably?

I've never really been a price shopper, so I'm not sure.... But would it be because lower K bulbs cost less? - IDK.
