When light manufacturers use the term 'Daylight', it usually means 5500K to 7000K, but definitely not 10000K.

oh oh... I :blink:

pardon my blur-ness den... :ph34r:

tanzy... u said 2 PL 2 FL... U tink my 1 ft width can hold so much? any restrictions of corals to tis combi?

I think it will be just fully packed with light tubes. You might want to consider T5 instead of PL if you are worried about space. If the tank top is covered, heat can buildup and evaporation is also reduced.

You can keep softies and some LPS. Can't really keep clams happy.

If you can get T5, why not? They produce more light than PL and take up less space. Actually after thinking a bit more, one Actinic tube would do, switch the other FL tube for 10000K.

Get the 24" tubes. All you need is the 2' FL or PL casing that comes with those clear plastic legs to plonk onto your tank.
