    So I recently purchased a 75g tank with this coralife fixture

    It comes with 4 moonlight LED (but I don't know how to get them to work, gonna assume the plug but I don't know where I can plug it in...anyone wanna help?:D)
    2 65w 10k (white)
    2 65w actinin (blue)

    One of the blues just recently burnt, and I was wondering for optimal growth should I just replace it with any straight plug actinin 21-22inches? Or should I go with a different combination?

    For more growth go with a 460nm blue over the 420nm actinic.

    I have a similar setup and I got rid of actinic and replaced them with the blue plus. The blue has a high par

    Thanks for the assistance!

    I guess I fell behind in the past few years! hah. do you know where I could get a cheap/good set of the blue plus? Does it matter which brand?

    I would say they should be fine.
