I like that idea as you can always use your existing VHO actinics just for that purpose and with the others you give yourself some bulb play to see what you like. If you'ld like you are welcome to come by and see what my 58 looks like with the 5 bulb system over it. Quite a bit brighter than I figured it was going to be.

After talkig with Barry from Clams Direct a few months back he had told me clams would do fine under the system I bought. I'm not planning SPS but wanted to keep clams this time so I just wanted to make sure the lighting would be adequate.
