T5 bulb advise

aquablast · 03/25/2010, 06:15 PM

I plan to purchase a 6 bulb @ 54 watt ATI Sunpower t5 fixture for a 75 gal tank with mixed corals in mind. What would be a good bulb combination that supports good growth. I prefer a bright natural look as apposed to a really blue cast. Bulb advise please and is ths enough light for mixed corals.

plenty of light. 3 blue plus along with a mix of either aqua blue special(ati), uvl actinic white or aqua blue special (neither appear blue despite the names), and maybe a ge 6500
