Lighting question

[doch]

So, It's about time to change my bulbs and I'm wondering what recomendations people have. I'm currently running 50/50 PC's but recently turned of the day light bulbs and my gf fell in love woth how it looks (as did I). Can I safely run nothing bt actinics, or will this harm my corals?

Yes you will harm your corals. Actinics are mostly for show and lack the output and color of daylight. I am sure someone will step in here to clarify more.

Run your regular bulbs for 8-10 hours during the day, and run your actinics in the morning and evening. This way you get to enjoy both, and it is closer to a natural light cycle.
