new lights
I picked up a T5 fixture on the weekend so I could add some actinics into the mix. Here is a shot from this morning with just the T5's and the 150w 20k mh's. Unfortunately my camera just can't seem to get the colours to pop the way they do with the naked eye in this lighting, things look browner than they actually are.

I like the look! I find the colors are very sharp and distinct in the second photo. Do you like it so far?

How's the tank though with the main lights on with the actinics?
I've been trying to sell myself for a while on replacing my daylight and actinic NO fluorescents that I use for dawn/dusk with a T5 actinics/daylight mix to get the "POP" but concerned that either everything will be too purple with the mains on and with them off it will be the black-light and poster look of the 70's.

Have you tried adjusting your white balance? I'm also interested in what bulbs your t'5s are.
