what lighting are you trying to get ? just a white/blue combo ?
they sell single bulbs called 50/50 they do that...
to make it easier for us, just give us more details on tank, whats in it, or that u wanna keep in it ect ?

Actually nothing is in it right now, its a 29 gal tank with sand substraite, Its gonna be a freshwater tank for Cichlids and some live plants. Im cycling the tank now before anything, i have 2 hanging filters running but i wanna buy a powerjet also to circulate the water. Right now im worried about buying all the neccessary equipment. The tank is already fishy smellin(using water from other fish tank to cycle, no fish) yes i wanna get a blue and white look... With the sand substrait i wanna give it that marine look :)
