Question about VHOs
I'm trying to find the right combination of bulbs, I've been using an IceCap 660 overiding 40W NO 6500K from HD, for about 2 years now I've been able to keep many corals and clams, crocea, maxima, derasa and gigas (all 1+ year), I have a purple tip acro that grows really fast but only the tips color ups, bird nest is brown but growing fast, Millie the same (it's keep it's color) many zoos, xenia, pagona, lords, digitata that are doing good. I'm just trying to color up the acros
 without upgrading to MH, not ready yet My question is if I upgrade to a real VHOs 110W I can put 4 VHO AquaSuns and 2 URI super actinics, or 4 URI actinic/whites and 2 super actinics. In your opinion and experience will this make a difference in color? parameters are good cal 450, alk 3.0, mg 1600. Which bulbs will be better the aquasuns 10,000K or the 50/50 actinic/white 12,000K. I read that the aquasuns looks a bit pink. Ohh!everything will be runnig out of 2 IceCaps 660 Thank you and sorry for the long post.

I'd do 2 UL (aka URI) Actinic Whites and 2 UL Super Actinics.
