Was given a coralife 4 65w pc fixture. I have a 2 bulb t5 on the tank currently. What spectrum of light (combination of bulbs) should i go with for best results. I am just starting to get into soft corals and wanna make sure i do things right.

Depends if the plug is 4 square or 4 flat...I think 4 flat is more limited in bulb selection

you can get bulbs with a full color or half one type and half another. a good start is prob a 10000k white and a actinic bulb two of each or possibly 4 half and half bulbs. Is at least a good start.

they dont have any 10000k they have 12000 or 14000k which would be better?
