Maintenance Program: 10% water change every 1-2 weeks, ESV Bionic daily, Kent Strontium once or twice a week, Kent Iodine daily

Additional Information: The CSL PC 7100 blues are not an effective actinic light. That is why I currently use a NO actinic. It's 30 watts do more that 192 watts of PC blue light. I am thinking about going with 3 white (6700K) PCs and another NO actinic or swap the PCs out entirely with the VHOs (Icecap 660) that I use on my freshwater tank so that I can go with VHO 50/50s and actinics on my reef go with 6700 PCs exclusively on my freshwater tank.
