Quick T5 question please
hey..
I have a 24" hood with four 24W bulbs in it. "Sea World" is the brand of bulbs. They are now about eight months old and was wondering if I can put API bulbs in it? Will it make a difference on the color/health of my corals? I was planning on getting: (2) Aquablue 12K (2) Blue+ |

ATI? Yes, they are way better than "sea world".
I would drop an aquuablue for a purple plus.

I'd do 3 ATI Blue Plus and 1 KZ Fiji Purple. I think it looks best in this order imo.
1. Blue 2. Blue 3. Purple 4. Blue

Also,
I know these are going to have a lot more par than the bulbs I have now so I was going to change out one bulb every 3 days. So It will take 12 days to fully change them out. Does this sound right or should it take longer? |

That is a good plan. Maybe even go every 4-5 days just to be safe.
