Bulb suggestion
I have been cycling a 20L and it looks like my cycle is complete! So I'm ready to turn on the lights. Below is what I have to work with. Maybe someone would be kind enough to give me a suggestion on what bulbs to put in/what order? My top priority right now is to save a lobo brain coral that's dying in my 58g reef under VHOs. I also plan on putting some Xenia and (a few corals) in it down the road.
Fixture: 30" 96 Watt Sundial T-5HO Fixture (Can hold 4-24" bulbs) Bulbs I have to work with: 2-24" "CURRENT" 24W T5 HO Actinic 460nm 2-24" ATI 24W Blue plus 1-24" "Koralien-zucht.de" 24W Coral Light Fiji Purple 1-24" GE 24W Ecolux High Output 6500K 1-24" "CURRENT" 24W T5 HO 10KK Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm an old-school VHO guy, I don't know anything about T-5s... but I picked up this fixture & bulbs for cheap. |

2 ATI Blue Plus, the Fiji Purple and for the 4th it is up to you. I would try the Current Actinic or the GE6500k.
When will be white and the other combo will be a lot more blue.

Back to front
blue plus 10k current Fiji purple Blue plus This is very similar to a bulb setup that I recently had. I really enjoyed the look. It is just blue enough to make things look natural imo. |
