Default What kind of lighting are you using?

I'm using 6 48" HO T5's. Four 10,000K, and two Actinic. I plan on adding a 150 watt Metal Halide (which I have) soon. The lights are all on timers to come on in sequence to simulate sunrise to sunset.

-i'm using 2x70-watt metal halides, 20 k's so already quite blue without any actinics, but want to upgrade to one 250-watt hqi in the next year, but with my current lighting i can have softies,lps, and sps, clams and anemones so i'm quite impressed with their penetration..
