thanks, was wondering what your thoughts were behind the 50/50, as I've
heard that it has adverse affects, like an algae magnet and such....

The actual wattage is the same, but the luminosity, CRI and spectrum
are different. IMO 50/50 makes a African tank look reef-like - which
looks appropriate given the colors of many of the Africans.

Ghazanfar, do the 50/50's lose actual wattage? I mean, if I had a 55W
6500k
regular, versus a 55w 6500k 50/50, are they putting out the same
wattage,
same intensity, everything??

I have a 55Gal Malawi tank w. a coral substrate. The lighting that
came
w.
the tank is bluish-white and makes the whole tank look washed out.
It's
a
Perfecto(?) hood w. 2 24" bulbs. I'd like to replace the bulbs, but
what
are
my options? I'd like a light that enhances the coloring of the fish.
I
have
no live plants. Thanks.
