bswe22 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 What kind of bulb combinations are people using? I have a 6 bulb T5 light fixture over my 40B. What kind of bulb configuration is going to give me the best coral growth (mostly LPS, softies & a RBTA) and make the colors of fish pop? I have 2 true percula clown's, royal gramma, yellow eyed tang and a hector's goby right now. Currently I am using 2 auqablue +, 2 actinic + & 2 pure actinic bulbs from Giesemann. Fish colors look good but is it too much blue for good coral growth? Thanks for your ideas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenReefin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Anyone had any experience switching the aquablue with the new coral plus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
