can someone explain to me the different lighting for saltwater, t5, t5ho, actinic, LED. i aquired some bulbs, and they dont have labeled packaging, so im not sure whats up. Does blue vs white matter? or just a color preference? i am planning on having 4 24" bulbs in my 50 gal, is this enuf? they are t5ho i think, does not say it on the bulbs, just says actinic 24W. someone help me, im a noob, or direct me to a good web link and you dont have to explain anything lol!
