T5 lamp replacement...what next?

yellow_tang2009 · 03/31/2012, 09:44 PM

I am replacing my T5s on my tank as they are now almost a year old. I know I've definitely procrastinated too long but am going to order very soon. Listed below are my options. Any suggestions on optimal combinations? I have only 2 lamps on this tank. I was thinking the Coral Wave and maybe Full Spectrum Daylight? (1&6)

Thank You!
