The 50 has a Coralife 2 x 96W PC fixture. One tube is 10000K, and the other is a 96W Actinic. The fixture has been in use since the end of October. I run the 10000K most of the day. The actinic at this time comes on at 4:30 PM . So it runs a few hours with both tubes, then later the 1000K goes out, and we finish the day until about 9:00 pm with only the Actinic.

The tank contains only softies, Mushrooms, two types of Xenia, zooanthids, Green Star Polyps, Cabbage Coral, Caulastrea, and Torch Corals. To date it is doing well.
