Supplementing with MH wigh ones???

[b-baby80]

O.K. so i just bought new lights.I had to get what was in my budget.In the future i was thinking of adding some clamp on MH to supplement and that way i could keep just about anything.So i'm needing some input here please.Here's what i currently have

48in Coralife Aqua Lunar
2 65watt 10K
2 65watt Actinics
4 lunar lights
55 gallon 48in x 12.5 x 19 to the sandbed

the clamp on fixture that are out aren't very good. but since you bought an actual fixture there's not much you can do about adding to it because it's not like you can put MH in the middle and just have PC actinics on the sides. You'll pretty much have to do an entire lighting setup upgrade if you're going to go to T-5 or MH or you go to a bigger tank.

Really even just for giving a little bit of a boost??

I mean i think my current lights are pretty good.I just thought a little MH thrown in the mix couldn't hurt?

it wouldn't hurt but you probably don't have any room to sneak them in. and even doing two 150w MH you could ditch the PCs anyways.
