what I actually have is a 48" 4 X 55w light.. only thing is two of the lights are actinic... so I turn those two off.. does actinic add anything to a FW setup... is it as beneficial as white?

The only thing actinic is going to do is visual. They don't benefit plants, and the fish would prefer something different too I'm sure.

generally 1 watt of light per gallon or less is low to very low light levels
1 watt to 1.5 watts is low light level
1.5 to 2 watts low to medium light levels
2 to 2.5 watts medium to high light levels
2.5 to 3 watts high to very high light levels
3 to 3.5+ extremely high light levels

The above are general guidelines-Anne

Thanks.
