    It was given to me by a friend but he can't remember what kind of bulbs they are

    That's a bit pricey plus I want moon lights attached to it

    Have you thought about a DIY LED fixture from Rapid LED? That will be cheap in the longrun.

    I have considered it but I honestly have no clue on what I would be doing

    I got your PM.

    I've heard people talking about getting that DIY fixture from AquaStyle. There is a whole thread about it somewhere on here, but I didn't see any of the finished results (one people put them together). If you do go ahead with it, I would suggest the 12 white, 10 blue, 2 uv.

    I think they use bridgelux LEDs. I think you will be fine. Corals and clams.
