simple lighting Question

[chevydragtruck]

ok, all I have a small lighting question.........first to start off I have custom sealife 4x96 power compacts...........I'm about to replace the bulbs, and I was wondering what the difference between the 6700 and the 10000 white power bulbs are. and also what's the difference between the 7100 blue and the true atinic03 bulbs are, and what would be better for me? I just added some polyps, and a leather coral.

hey man,
the difference between the daylight bulbs is the 6500k looks really yellow and will make your water have a yellow tint.
The 7100k actincs are not true actincs and dont reach as far into the water if I remember correctly. The blue spectrum of light will reach deeper into the water and the 03 accomplish this better.
Go with 10k days and 03 actinics.

"Go with 10k days and 03 actinics."
I agree.
