HO or not really doesn't matter.

I have a 48" Coralife HO double strip, so the difference is that my fixture is 108W instead of your 56W. However, you have a second 56W fixture whereas I'm using the two 24" T8 fixtures that came with my tank.

The presence of that 10000K bulb changes things considerably! The depth penetration of the 10000K balances out the lack of penetration in the Roseate. You've actually got a REALLY nice blend of lighting.

And FYI, I no longer inject CO2 (results were too GOOD) and I only use Excel for algae control - I don't dose daily.
