I currently have 4 Flourescent tube fixture with 2 actinics and 2 10k tubes. I wanna eventually add corals to my tank. what is the best type bulb/fixture/wattage for most corals. I know that is a pretty broad question, but . . .

It sounds like you can have Soft and Some LPS Coral with the lights you have now. If you don't want any restrictions then invest in MHs.

What wattage and color temp?

Should I get the 2x250W 10K Bulbs + 2 96W actinics?

I use Power Compacts. Maybe someone with MHs can step in here and give you the information on the MHs.

You can post the question in the equipment forum for help I guess. I thought someone would have jumped in by now.
