Hi. First thread. I would like some advice on adding t5 lighting to my 75 gallon reef tank. I have several softies, lps, and sps at top of tank. All is doing well but I want more color enhancement and growth. What 2x 54 watt t5 bulbs would be recommended for this setup? I don't want to red or blue but want all colors to "pop" more. Thanks!

I would do 1 ATI Coral + bulb and 1 ATI Blue + bulb. I ran that combo with leds and had great results

Thanks. Will it bring out purple, red, and pinks better than a fiji purple type?
