    I have a 65 gallon tank and I have bought some coral frags and was wondering if I could get some advise about lighting. My tank is 36 wide by around 23 tall. I have two compact florescent that have the double lights each white 10,000k 96watt and actinic 96 watt . I also have a t5 HO 39w and a actinic t5 that is build on the canopy . Do I need to use all these lights ? Do they run for 6 hours..I have noticed hair algae in the tank and the frags dont look too good. Any advise would be appreciated.:)
