I have a T5 ho by current. In it are 2 white bulbs, 2 blue, and 4 small night lights (if you will) Please excuse my ignorance! I am trying. Anyway...are the blue lamps for nght viewing...or do they work in concert with the whites to give a " full spectrum"? This is what i believe and the 4 small lights are for moonlight...am i correct!! Thanks

yes, the "blue" is actinic......they are sometimes used for dusk/dawn effects. They give the corals a "glowy" tint (Highly technical aquatic term). The smaller lights---I assume LED's----are moonlights.

Hey, new guy. You need to know this. There are no stupid questions here. Only those too stupid to ask. Got that new guy?

Sooooooo, ask away. Anything is fair game here. At least anything reef related.
