Hello,

what would be the best light set up for my tank.

I have 4 t-5 lamps with 2 switches/timers over a 90g tank. what would be the best light temps for me to use to show off my fish. i have a mix of Africans.

Thanks, Jeff

I would do two actinic's and two 10k bulbs, have the actinic's turn on 30minn before the 10k's and turn off 30min after the 10k's.

I agree, I used that same bulb combo when I did Africans and thought it looked awsome.

What they said. :)

I do it that way for my reef tanks and it never dawned on me how awesome the blues come out on Africans with the additional actinic lighting until Mike O'Shea lent me a fixture with a bulb in it. Also, actinic only is a real cool look, right before the lights go out.
