Lighting issue
 
This is seriously driving me nuts! I have done 4 trips now to exchange and change light bulbs and still don't have the right ones!! :doh: I am mainly to blame, especially after today, as I got confused with what I did have-but this is getting really frustrating. :Cry:

I got home and just checked the lightbulbs. As it turns out, I gave the wrong information today so my combo of lights is wrong. I now have 1 Fiji purple, 3 superblue and the 2-15,000. I thought I had a different combo.

Im not sure what to do from here, if I'm ok sticking to that, or if I should return some of the superblue for something else, and if something, what for?

Thanks a bunch!

Are you going for growth or colour I would probably throw a 10 k or another 14 k coral lite bulb n there instead of 3 blues.

did you talk to kev at red coral he's pretty good around that stuff just let him know what you want to do, i run a 4 light t5 so i have 2 actinic and 2 15k bulbs and 8 blue leds works well for my coral and fish.

I ran that set of bulbs once. really blue, but nice. but I would swap a 22k for another 15k imo

Just try it out and see if you like the color, realistically there is not right or wrong bulb combination, well within reason I guess.
