Hi all;
I purchased a halide/PC fixture for my tank. 2x175 HQI Halides @20,000K and 2x96 Watt Actinic Power Compacts. I was thinking of replacing the Actinics with 50/50 bulbs. Power Compacts are on one circuit, Halides on another, so I can set timers differently for these lights. I have an 80 gallon bow front tank. It has a footprint like a "regular" 55 gallon, so its about 1.5 times the height of a "regular" 55 gallon. So, what I was wondering was, would this be enough light to support one of the more light demanding anemones, or should I stick with a bubble tip? I'm not sure of how ocellaris like a bubble tip. I've heard mixed results. I'd rather have a few ocellaris than 1 or 2 clarkii clowns, but could live with either choice. Also, how would one set the timers? 12 hrs for the PC's and 8 for the halides? (Assuming a switch to 50/50's). Or just leave the full actinics and blast the fish with full light all at once and turn them off all at once? That seems a little harsh. Thanks, Mike |
