Lighting questions (new to hobby)

[kristahedrick]

Hi! I have only had a saltwater aquarium for a couple months. I have a 75 gallon bowfront. I just bought a Coralife Lunar Aqualight High Output T5 Quad Lamp Fixture which includes 2 each 10,000K and Actinic bulbs. I finally got this light set up on my aquarium, but it doesn't have the results I was expecting - there is a yellow tinge to it. Did I purchase the wrong light or can I get different bulbs? I really don't have a clear understanding of lighting, but I am eventually wanting to add corals, sea anenome, and possibly a starfish. At the store where I get my fish, all of their aquariums have a really bright white light. How do I get the same results? Since I just got my tank set up, I still have alot of the green algae and not the purple. Will this make a difference? Will the lighting look different after I get a more established tank?

If it looks yellow then it will be yellow. You can buy different bulbs. I like ati and uvl bulbs personally.
Really bright lights your talking about are more than likely metal halides.
Bright lights do make a difference in what species of corals you can have. Anemones definitely need bright lights.
