WHat would be the best color bulb for that blue effect ?
Hello Everyone !
At the moment I have 3 MH bulbs (2 175W and 1 250W) over my 110 gallon reef (36" L x 24" H x 24" D). All are 10K . I would like to increase the amount of blue light over the tank . I was thinking of running 2 20K 175 W and 1 10K 250 W bulb to get the effect . Does this sound like a good plan or should it be the other way around ? 2 10K 175W and 1 20K 250W ? How about the 14K bulbs ? Would they be a better fit for my setup ? All advice will be much appreciated !  Thanks, Joe
