Is it bad for corals to have no daylight bulbs, or are they more for people. I am going to be switching bulbs soon. I have a 4 bulb t5 fixture. Was thinking 1 daylight, 1 420 nm and 2 460 nm. Could I not have a daylight, and switch it out with a different bulb?

Unless your tank is very small I would do 3 420s and 1 daylight. Skip the full actinic. With only 4 bulbs don't waist one just on fluf. 6+ and you can spare a little for popping colors. JIMO

I got the numbers backwards? hmm imagine that... I have to go look at those ice-cap boxes again.
In the names of the ATI bulbs I mean to say
3 Blue plus
1 Aquablue special or 1 fiji purple
