I want to get more lightning for my live plants to thrive. Im looking now on ebay at coralife dual lighting system with lunar lights. It comes with a 10k bulb and a blue actnic bulb and then the lunar lights. Is this a good way to go for freshwater or should I go another route.

   Don’t get that. The 10K will slightly help, but the actinic won’t do anything for the plants.

   How about one of these fixtures:
   Of course, in the freshwater model.
