lighting question

[hockey nut]

I have the same tank and I am running 4 x 110 wt vho actinics with 2 x 250 wt MH.

The balance seems good to me. Lots of colour in the corals. Any less actinic I think my tank would be too white.

If you say your happy with it why would you want to cut down the amount of actinic?

Although one bulb might be enough if you are running a fish only tank.

Or if you are using 14000k MH or 20000k MH.

Try it out and let us know.

But for as the correct amount of actinic light a tank needs I don't know that answer. I would think more is better in most cases. JMO.
