need input (1 Viewer)

[FISHSTICK]

Ok, I got a frag tank that is 36x30x18tall. I was thinking about lighting. This tank I'm just trying to get the best for growth and not looks. I need help choosing lighting for this this tank and any input would help.


Thanks.
Mike

What if I do 2x250w and 6500k bulbs?

6500k will give you great growth but your corals will look like crap.

i'd go with 10k and swamp them with actinic lights.

This is going to be in my frag/grow-out tank, so looks doesn't matter to me.

This is going to be in my frag/grow-out tank, so looks doesn't matter to me.

Then go with the 6500K so they grow like crazy and once you put them in your display it should only take 2-3 weeks for them to color up.
