    It sounds like T5 would be a good way to go. Thanks for all of the help. Now I just need to build a new stand and the light canopy plus pack. I am think the weekends are going to busy for awhile.

    I'm actually going to set up my 55 gal. reef tank. But what lighting to use? I will be running 2 PC ballasts. The first is 2x 55 watt that came with new 6500K and 10000K bulbs. The second is a 2X96 Watt with no bulbs. What do you recommend for the 2 - 96 watt PC bulbs? I don't plan on putting MH in, but would still like to get good color and growth from any corals I get. Thanks for your help in advance.
    We can\'t stop here. This is bat country!

    if you want a white look go with a 10k and an actinic,if you want a bit more blue to the overall color,then go with an actinic and a 50/50.
