Coralife Actinic lamp is a 100% blue actinic 03 phosphor that peaks at 420 nanometers, its good for soft corals too.

Actinic of some sort is necessary for healthy Corals.
No on the aged tap water,most municipal water supplies contain chloramine instead of plain old chlorine,and it's much more stable and remains in the water much longer. Reverse Osmosis/De-ionized water or distilled water are the only ones to use for "make-up" water,since they add nothing but water,and won't change the chemistry of the tank.
