I am playing around with different lighting in 4 fish tanks, it seems coralline grows best with a mix of lighting actinic with a 5k mh bulb, more than 20k mh and 10k ? has anyone experiment with different lighting spectrum's ?

IMO--most algae including corraline does better with the wave length provided by attinics.

--oops the extra boost of light from that spectrum provided by the addition of attinics in conjuction with mh's
