    Will give you sort of a yellow look. If you added some actinics then you would have your blue look.

    Those bulbs are good for refugiums and/or planted aquariums. Luna

    depends on what your planning to keep, you ideally want at least 5 watts per gallon if your keeping coral you should have around 10 for sps
