Lighting Question
I am putting two 250w MH over my 55. Yes I know over kill, but then again I will be able to grow anything I want in the tank. I am wanting to know if two 4ft T5 actinic will be enough to supplement or should I go with 4?? No worries about heat problems, will be running a chiller.

I use two VHO actinics. I also use 10k bulbs. Really it depends on the kelvin rating of the MH. If you use 20k, you really don't need any.

I will be running 14k reefstar bulbs. They are kinda blue but nowhere near as blue as the 20k I had running before.
