What bulbs would you use?

[gordruls]

If you had the choice what bulbs would you use on three 36in fixtures 96 w 10000 k daylight, 96w 10000k 50-50, or 96w blue. there are a total of 6 bulbs, this is on a 150 gal tank....Let me know what type bulbs you would use and how you would mix them?.

I'd go with 4 10K's and 2 actinic. That way you have a lot of bright lights for coral needs, and you still get the blues needed too. Id even say to make it so the blues come on about 30min to an hour before the 10K's and off 30min to an hour after the 10K's

3 10000k and 3 actinic, and if we are talking VHO then use the URI bulbs.
