sorry didnt see this thread

4 bulb would be fine for a 40 breeder. If it come with 2 cords ,

run 2 bulbs for 2hr
then all 4 for 6hrs
then 2 bulbs for 2hr
making it a 10 hr day for the corals

Moon lights would look great for night viewing

Hm on a 4 bulb set up I would run super act, blue+, aquasun, blue+ or something. You want to make sure you get the reds, oranges, yellow's, etc to pop out also and not just bring out the green, blues, and purples. Don't forget pinks either
