change lights?

[mooredezign]

Hello everyone,

I currently have a 29 gallon tank with about 8 frags in it, most LPS, but I do have 2 SPS, one is a chile pepper monti, the other is a purple haze monti that were both purchased from WWC. When I first set the tank up, I purchased a Current USA light fixture that only came with two 24 watt bulbs, I changed those out to a Geismann Aquablue Plus and a Geismann Actinic Plus. Could there be a better bulb set up than what I'm using now? I know there really isn't much combination wise I can work with since I only can use two bulbs. Any input would be appreciated.

I think that is the best
1-12000k
1-460nm

Alright! Thanks for the reply! I know I'm in need of a stronger light fixture, but its been good to me so far!

If you like your corals to "pop" in color more then maybe go with a little higher K rating.

Do you have a bulb in mind that would have that effect?

ATI Blue Plus

ati blue+
kz fiji purple

ati blue+

so you would switch both bulbs to these two? or just the actinic plus with one of those two???

i would switch both to those, personally. for what you are keeping it should be plenty of output. color will rock. maybe add some blue led to the mix if you want absolutely insane colors.

alright, i just might order those two bulbs and try them out! thanks for all the help!

 

[mooredezign]

just one more quick question...the corals will still grow fine with that bulb combo correct???

Absolutely.
