T5 bulb thoughts
I'm building a 44"L, 50 gallon tank, so I'm having to buy a new 48" light fixture. I've already got 2 54w ATI Blue +, and I'm definitely getting an ATI Aquablue special.... just thinking about the last bulb now.... I want a red/purple bulb to bring out some of that spectrum, and I was going to go with a Fiji Purple, but just googling different bulb combos I ran into the ATI Pro Color...
I'm pretty new to saltwater, and I've never heard of this bulb.... It isn't available from my LFS or the online store I usually use, so just never seen it.... Anyone ever used it? Has it been replaced by something better? Or does anyone have any different suggestions that I might consider? Thanks!
