Frag Tank Question

[oceanparadise1]

is it a big deal if i run 4 day time lights vs 2 daytime 2 atinic? does it make different in color/growth to have it on way vs another? if i want best growth what combo should i do?

2 day time 2 blue

3 day time 1 blue

3 blues 1 daytime

depends of what you are growing

if you are doing a lot of acans or other LPS ive found the lower par blue light to be very important.

if you are doing sps then crank those day lights. worry about color when they are displayed.

sps color will come back a lot easier than LPS IME.

just my 2 cents

cool thanks junior its going to be mostly Zoas and some softies and some sps but nothing like acans or favias

depends but if your taking pics to sell out of same tray I would do 2 daylight 2 actinic or 4 50/50 bulbs but if just for growing then 4 10k-14k bulbs and are these t5,power compact,VHO or halide combo?
