    Thanks reefer!

    Another Q, should I get 1x67000, 1x10000k, and one actinic? What's combination of temp do you recommend? These 3 bulbs will be on a 20gal long tank.

    Also, there will be 2 ballest...2x55w bulbs hook up to one and 1x65w bubls hook up to the other.

    Thanks!

    I would go with 10K for 2 and actinic for 2

    But when I had PC lights I really didn't like the look of 10K it was for some reason too green. Which doesn't make sense I know but that was just what I observed so I always used 6500K

    you could go with 50/50's for the one set of bulbs and actinic's for the 65watt bulb.
