    right now on my 90 i have 2x 250w mh and 1 t5 strip light with i believe 54 watts of actinic. and i am wondering if i sould get more actinic lighting for my tank? and if i got a lighting fixture what would be to much lighting? i was thinking a 4 bulb 216w t4 with every bulb actinic would that be to much wattage for the tank?

    It really depends on what your going for......if you are wanting to improve performance, I dont think I would change anything. To add another 4 bulb fixture to your existing MH setup would be overkill, in my opinion. If you are just looking to add more blue, just add another actinic......

    really not going for anything more of a question of will it hurt or help and i think you answered both i might just go with 1 small wattage bulb. the k rating is 14000k on the mh. if i want more blue might just go with 20000k.
