Lighting Configuration?

[gotmytan]

Hi:
I just got a 6x55W Power compact with 2 50/50 bulbs, 2 acitinic bulbs, and 2 10,000K bulbs.
What would be the best configuration? I'm thinking the 50/50 bulbs in the front, the blue acitinic in the middle, and the 10,000K in the back?
Any info you could provide would be great!
Thanks!

If you put the actinic in the front they won't blind you when you open the hood to feed or whatever.

go 10k in the front, then the 50/50 then the actinic.but the reflecter should even it all out anyways

i agree with joe.In my 20 gal set up i have two 65watt pc's, one a 10k bulb, the other a super actininc. i tried both configurations, and found that the corals are more electrically colored with the actinic in front. just try it out over your tank and you will determine for yourself which you like the best!
good luck
