Hi,
My JBJ 24g tank came with two 36 watt 10,000K daylight and blue actinic combo bulbs. I feel it may be time to replace them. I was wondering if I should try to mix it up by getting a bulb that is all 10k and a bulb that s all blue or maybe get a 6500k/blue combo bulb and all 10k bulb.. i dunno what to do.. I have a leather coral, and 2 different mushroom corals..and looking to get some zoos if you go to jbj's website you can see the bulbs they offer.. let me know what you all think..
THanks

I love the 10000k and antic look myself and most corals do well with those colors, but its all about what you want. if you want your corals to grow faster Id get 2 10000k bulbs but your corals would lose a little of there coloration without any antics.

The combo of 10k and actinic is the best combination. Just get a 10k bulb and an actinic bulb. I like the dual actinic bulbs myself.
