I have a 60 gallon acrylic tank with lots of live rock. About 70 pounds. I just recently got a 175 watt metal halide setup. I traded it for some guy who i think was growing herbs. it's got a 175 watt PHILLIPS MH bulb. I'm not sure if it's a 10,000k, 14k or 20k. But in the day when it's on, there's just a yellowy tint in the water. The light is very bright white. What are some sugestions? I see so many pictures of these aquariums on this site, with bright lighting, but with more of a blue tint. And that's what i want.
Any advise?
Should i look into getting a new bulb? the guy i traded with said it was only 3 months old. If new MH bulb is sugguested, give me some names of good ones.
Where does the nice blue hue come from?
For your consideration, I'm planning on getting a variety of clams, and SPS
