Look me up when its time to do the M/H I'll show something else (: You'll be amazed what the proper bulbs will do all actinics and K's are not equal Data is one thing real world applications are something else..I do real world from what I know works (: I bet your corals have never fluoresced like they are now.. The proper Actinc will make them all puff up.. And you can cut back on the M/H's . I'm Happey you liked them thanks
