Help selecting T5 bulb color
I'm planning to add two 24 watt T5's with an HO ballast to my current set up. I'm running MH's now with 14000k bulbs. The tank is pretty white which I don't mind. I tried 20000k bulbs for a while but I wanted better coral growth. The only purpose of these T5's is to help colors show up better. I know the wattage is a little low but I'm limited with the way my canopy is built and most of the colorful corals are within the top half of the tank anyway. I don't know much about T5 bulbs but there seems to be a lot of choices. I didn't want to waste money buying bulbs that didn't give the right look. Anyone have some experience that would help with my decision?
Thanks |
T5's
I'd throw some blue plus in there maybe ?

Try a Fiji Purple, they really make your coral "pop"

I've got 2 of the aquascience blue bulbs, 2 fiji purple and 2 10k bulbs. It gives a really nice colour, not too much white, not too much blue, not too much red/purple.

Fiji's it is. Thanks for the comments.

If you have florescent coral, the best bet is osram 67.
