All,

I have a 48" Coralife Aqualight Pro with 2 x 150 watt MH and 2 x 96 watt PC. It needs new lights, so I was thinking of selling the fixture and getting T5's instead (which is why I put up my recent thread regarding a T5 setup).

This would possibly be going over a 55 gal frag/prop tank. I would be holding mainly LPS (chalices/favia/acans) and zoos/palys. Will also have a couple SPS (mainly montis and then some sticks).

What is the best combo of lights (MH AND PC) for this fixture? Again, I am going for two things, color and growth. Mainly color followed by growth.

I would go with the Radium 150W 20000K DE ( guessing that is DE ) also would choose the 460/420 combo PC.
