lighting question?

[Melonbob]

Heres a question for everyone, is there one better way to set up your bulbs? Right now I have the nova 4X39 and a coralife 2X21. The bulbs are set up so it goes one 10k, one actinic, one 10K, one actinic etc. Do different arrangements have a different effect?

alternating seems to be the most efficient way to get good color in your tank. If you load one side and then the other, there may be a clear break of color in your tank that will look funny. If you do not like your tank color, try using different blue bulbs. Some people like the actynics that have a slightly purple hue, while I prefer to use the true blue actynics. They make my Dory fish stand out best

The best way is to buy new bulbs.There's a bunch of different bulbs to give you the look you like best.Alternating is really the only way to go.
