A few quick questions!

Jrambo88 · 03/20/2016, 07:14 PM

So long story short I bought a bulk buy from Craigslist, after a tank failure. The light included a aquatic life fixture halide/t5 combo with led night lights. It's a 48" fixture for a 75 gal. I'm not using the halide just the t5, for just a fowlr. Any suggestions for the two bulbs to get a nice color spectrum to make the fish really pop. Also is it a decent fixture as a whole?

Ok cool! So do you think ati blue plus is a good combo of white and blue? Wouldn't actinics be just way too blue. I'm sorry I haven't had t5s in years. Been running kessils and radions

Blue plus might be ok. Not actinics
