You experts out there.
I need your advise, the lighting system for my 55 gallon tank (icecap retro kit) came with 4 VHO tubes, 3 tubes are 03 actinic blue and one tube is super actinic white. To set it up with 3 tubes, should I use 2 blue tubes and 1 white or should I get another white and use 2 whites and 1 blue? :notsure:
If you could post pics of your hoods to get some ideas it would be very much appreciated. :help:

I only installed a actinic white and a super actinic blue. The rest of the tubes are all blue. 110w x 2 =220 / 55 gallon. That puts the tank in about 4 watts per gallon for now. I hope that doesnt hurt until I get the other white tube. I need to get the caps for it as well. Thanks.
