I've neglected my Biocube, because I set up a 57 gallon rimless. Now I'm back on it. I am wondering if the best combo of lighting is the 50/59 daylight and actinics. Can I go 75 actinics and 25 percent daylight without harming my corals? I kind of like the blue look. A couple of years back I went 75 percent daylight, and 25 percent actinics, but no it looks awfully yellow(especially compared to my T-5s). Would 75 percent actinics be OK for softies and some LPS?

Thanks!

I pulled off my sunpod and put the original hood on. 36w compacts x 2. Going low maintenance on this tank.

50/50 bulb, and one full actinic?
