I purchased a dual 250w 20k MH retrofit kit earlier this week for my 55 gallon reef. I plan to install them this weekend, but I had a couple of questions.

The new lights are going to be replacing my two 65w 10k PC lights in my 48" JBJ Formosa hood. I will leave the other two 65w Actinics in the hood. http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_formosa_dx.html The hood sits approximately 6-8" off the water.

1) can I leave the plexiglass splash shield in place, or will it melt 8O

2) Between the Actinics and the 20k, will my lighting be too blue?

It'll melt.

The blue color is relative. Personally I think any tank ran w/ anything other than an Iwasaki 6500 k bulb looks blue to me, but I'm used to the Iwasaki bulb color. You may like it. :shrug:
