T5 HO Help
 

I'm running 2 250W Hamilton 14K supplemented with 4 54W T5 HO. I want to replace the T5's. I am trying to get the pinks and reds pop out. Can someone please recommend a good combo of T5's that will help with this.

I dunno how blue/bright your hamiltons are but this should have a ton of pop. I'm think the halides will heavily over power the t5's so maybe the following?

one ati purple plus (more purple + red)
one KZ Figi Purple (more pink + red)

one GE 6500K - warm bulb for yellows and greens - dirt cheap too :)
one ati blue plus

possibly switch over to the 14k Phoenix once the hamiltons are done?

Thanks P D R. I'm going to be getting these from J&L and the only choices are the KZ or Giesemann. I wish they had more of a selection unless i'm missing something. I've looked around that other "ignorant people" website and other brands other than those 2 are mentioned but i'm not sure where to order them from.

goreef carries ATI bulbs in Quebec and so does Incredible Aquarium in London, ON.

both have online sites with shipping. They are cheaper in the states (about $20 a bulb vs. $30) but you wont save anything once you bring em over the border. You can give Reef Wholesale a call to see who sells ATI locally to you - I believe they are the Canadian distributor.

TTT More opinions please.

If KZ is an option, then you could try the superblues and Fiji purples

Thanks. I found the ATI's at Victoria Blue World Aquarium and have a freind thats going there on the weekend so looks like i'll be getting them there.
