I would really like to add 4 to 6 Micro Swords to my tank this weekend. I just put down 60 lbs. of Eco-Complete and I'm ready to get started.

Unfortunately 1 of my 2 40w bulbs went out last night in my Custom Sealife PC and it just happened to be the 10K daylight. I have a free replacement on its way, should be here middle of next week.

Right now I am just running the 40w Ultra-Actinic bulb 10 hours per day.

Can I go ahead adding the Micro Sword or would it be better to wait?

And would you recommend I remove the Ultra-Actinic and replace it with something else? If so, what? Or will that and the 10K daylight bulb work out good for a medium to heavly planted tank with fish.

Thanks.
