 I'm no expert by far but my 55g runs UV bulbs ( 2-25/75 and 2-454) IMO I really like them they seem to last a long time. Some people say UV bulbs look pink almost like Pepto Pink.. But the 454 bulbs are a briliant blue color which evens it out. I highly suggest the 454 bulbs they make the colors of my corals pop.. I also think the 454 my the water look crisp and clean I just like the way the blue looks on a tank.. I also have my timers set so the 454 lights stay on a little longer so I can look at my corals "glow" under the light
