Lighting Schedule suggestion T5 And Radion G4 xr30 Pro

fishnugget · 08/23/2018, 07:00 PM

I would like to add 4 t5 to my 180 using Aquatic Life fixture.

I am currently running SPS+ AB. My lights are 12 inch above water.

Interested in finding out which bulbs to use for better growth and color.

Also how do you fit the T% into the schedule.

When off. When on. I dont want to kill my corals with too much. Interested if any one is creating this hybrid lighting schedule?

A 1:1 ratio of blue+ and coral+ is a recipe for success when just using T5s, so it would be great for supplementation. All coral+ oe all blue+ depending on your desired look will be just fine too.

As for running them, id start with 2-4 hours during oeak lighting and increase slowly up to as much as 8 depending on where your par is currently.
