hi,

well, I guess it depends on wgar type of tank you have, fish only? FOWLR? Reef?

A good combinantion is usually 50% actinics and 50% 10000K's in most cases, but with a FO or FOWLR, the combination is less important. As for wattage, if you have less on a FO or FOWLR, you would tend to have slower algae growth.

What type of alage did you have problems with? IME, most algae outbreaks don't last long and are usually a stage when a nutrient inbalance exisits.
