This seems to be one of those try em' all kind of things where everyone has their preference to some extent... but I thought I would hit you all up to get some ideas. In a setup where you have 2 - 175watt Halides and 2 - 40watt NOs .... The 40's are currently actinic and the Halides are 5500k. IN a 90 gallon 48x18x24 tank. It's time to get new halide bulbs ( i bought this used ) and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for what K halides to go with. I plan on keeping corals and anenomes happy... or as happy as possible. But I can't get like all 10k and above can I ? ... Don't I need some white lite or is the full spectrum nature of halides good enough so that I can go with 10k bulbs ?
thanks,
Dan

I have a 90 and had a custom sea life hood with 2/175 my with 2/55 atinic
I would go 2/175 10k ab or ushio and 2/40 7100 atinic would look nice
