Hey all, I am putting together a 2.5g nano. I plan on building a custom hood and base, out of mahogany. My question is about lighting. I found a 10" hood w/2x13 what bulbs. I have a choice between 1 6500k, 1 Actinic, and a 11000k red. I was thinking about the actinic and 11k, but wanted to here from the nano experts. Plus I don't know much about the 11k red? What would be the best combo?
Thanks,
Kyle

It's going to intensify reds and purples in the tank. They're awesome for supplemental lighting to accent certain things but for actual coral growth/health I would stick to the 65k and Actinic.
If you have the room/$$ you might want to add a red bulb sometime to see if you like it (if you do post a pic I'd like to see).

Ok I will keep you posted. I will prolly go with the 65k now then maybe add a red to the front of the hood some other time. Thanks for the help.
Any other suggestions?

I searched for it couldn't find it. When you get the product name/company can you get back to me with it? I'd be inerested in one myself.
