Hi. You only have actinics? Marine-Glo is also an actinic. Did you mean that you have power compact fluorescent lights or VHO lighting instead of actually 3 actinics? That would be very blue otherwise.

Hi Sam, yep sorry about that-it's a daylight powerglo tube not a 50/50 like once stated. I run a total of 90 watts-that's it! And things keep growing and growing. I was considering to upgrade to pc's, but I thought if things are working fine-then don't fix em.

2 x 96watt PC Smart lights on at 6:30 am off at 9:00 pm......

I MAY.. thats a big may change my plant room around and put in a 135ish tank. I have a 400 watt MH and I might put it over the tank with a 10,000k bulb and move the shelves I have the Orchids on, I already suppliment their light needs with fluorescents. If I do that the MH will be on about 13 hours a day.
