AHHH maybe i need to edit it, the tank dimensions have changed from 6ft to just 3 feet. i will edit it so people understand what im talking about now. i posted the change below the basement pictures but i guess people missed it.

and i will talk to red coral about a tank also cant hurt to get different quotes for the same tank.

well good news im going ahead with the tank, got a great builder working on it, concept aquarium great people to work with, id recommend them to anyone.

i was hoping any t5 owners could chime in.

i have to get 6 bulbs and im looking for at around a 15k spectrum,

do you think
2x aquablue
2x blue plus
1x pure actinic
1x fiji purple bulb

would that give me the desired look or would that be too much blue? never had t5s before so not sure how to get it right the first time.

I liked the KZ line... 2x super Blue, 2x New Gen, and 2x Fiji Purple. Nice blue, but not too much.

Quick mod to the 6025 will allow for near the same flow as the 6045. Google it I run 4 modded 6025s and love'em.

well silly me i should of found that out before buying it, the reason i got the other one was because in case i dont want as much flow i can tone it down. having different flow rates has always been something i liked to do with the powerheads.

Out of a 6 bulb fixture i wouldn't run 2 fiji purples would be too pink, i tried 2 on 8 bulbs and it was overwhelming.
