My tank is a standard 90....24 inches deep. I got 5 actinic and 3 white. Its really nice...pretty bright but my water has been slightly hazy since the tank has been up despite live sand and live rock with 10 gallons of old water from previous tank being added so the light isnt as crisp and bright in the tank. A few have said its a bacterial bloom but man how long does it last? Ill try to get pics 2nite
