Thoughts on running LED, MH and T5 together

Flyfisherman · 04/04/2016, 05:59 PM

I'm running 250w phoenix hqi 48" on a 90 with two t5 ati blue +...sps corals are glowing, growth good. If I stick a LED lightbar on there, run pure actinic will they glow even more....

Is it worth trying or will it just washout? I guess I could play with the day end of the spectrum to and push a little more par...or turn it down and enjoy late evening spectrum with it and the t5 and MH off...
