    I have my coralife hqi 150 x2 above my 75. I'm running phoenix 14k with it. Do I need to run the acintic pcs? I dont have bulbs right now.

    You don't need to... The actinics just make the color of the corals "pop" more. People also like to use them before/after the halides are on to create a dusk to dawn effect. Phoenix 14k bulbs are a good bulb and blue enough that you should get good color out of your corals with the halides by themselves.

    Thats what I figured. I'm not keeping it up long just waiting for a bigger tank to come along to combine 75 and 90
