Quick T5 Bulb Review Please

layer3switchguy · 09/21/2008, 04:15 PM

Folks,

I'm currently running a SolarFlare 6 Blub T5 fixture with the following lamps:

Front -to- Back

AB Special
Blue Plus
AB Special
AquaSun
Blue Plus
AB Special

I'm thinking of keeping the config as above, but taking out the Aquasun and replacing with a ATI Pro Color. Any thoughts on if this is a good idea? I'm looking for great color along with decent growth on my SPS tank.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks,
L3

That will put down some serious PAR and look nice, its very similar to what I run on my 4 bulb tek light.

I really miss some actinic popping my colors though. Maybe switch in some kind of super actinic bulb for dust/dawn effect?
