    I need to replace one of the Par38 36 watt bulbs that has been on my tank for the past year. The tank was purchased as a complete set up and the current bulbs were able to sustain all of my corals. It has 3 bulbs spanning the top, the center is all actinic and the outer 2 were mixed blue and white, possibly a red in there. I've been looking at bulbs and am thinking of going with 54 watts as an upgrade, but not quite sure of the color spectrum's. Is this going to cover all I need or is it missing something?

    Power:54W

    Light Source:18pcs 3W Bridgelux LED(blue: white=6:12)

    Light Spectrum:blue 460~465nm; cold white 6500~12000K
