I inherited an existing 90gal tank 48w x 24h x 18d and the previous owner said the bulbs in the light were almost 2 years old so I thought I should change them. Before I get some new bulbs I thought I would check here and see what opinions were on what I have now and what I should get.
The light is 48" and has 4 CF bulbs with flat 4 pin connectors. It also has a blue LED strip which stay on all the time. The bulbs I currently have are 2 Coralife 50/50 65w and 2 that say "PL-L 65w Act. 420nm" whatever that means. I can't find any stickers or labels anywhere on the light to identify the brand or ballast size.
So is what I have now good enough for my tank size considering I have LPS corals and would like to get an Anemone down the road? Should I stick with the style bulbs i have, should I think about upgrading to a new fixture?? What do you think?
Thanks.
