T5 light setup:confused:
I was just looking for some help on a 4bulb t5ho setup. I bought 2-ATI Coral Plus bulbs, an ATI Purple Pluse, and an ATI True Actinic. Currently i have have a fixture with two timers and have the Purple and Actinic on 12 and the Coral Plus on 8. I just want to make sure i have a good enough mix. The color is great when all lights are on, but the purple plus seems to drown out the actinic when they are on without the coral plus bulbs. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Current Livestock - 1 Frogspawn, 15-20 Actinodiscus Shrooms(neon green striped), 2 Rhodactis Shrooms(Flame Orange), Dragon Eye Zoas, Npthea(tree leather), Palys.

Actinic bulbs are useless. Swap it for a Blue+
Possibly swap 1 coral+ for another Blue+ as well. |
