Bulb choices

H

Haven

Hey all. Over my 75 gallon, I currently have 4 T5's, 2 Ecoxotic Panorama Pro Actinics, and 1 Ecoxotic Panorama Pro Blue/Magenta. What T5 bulbs would you recommend? I was considering the KZ Fiji Purple, the ATI Blue+, and have heard something about a new bulb that pairs well with LEDs.

What 4 bulb T5 combination would you recommend? And in what order would you put them in from front to back? All 3 ecoxotic LEDs are lined across the front and mounted at a 45 degree angle.

Thanks,
Haven
 
Bump....I have the same question! I have a Coralife 4-Bulb T-5's with two Actinic and two 10K's. I have 4 LED's, but they are just moon lights, so those don't factor in. What are the benefits of adding the types of bulbs you reccomend. I have a Mixed reef with Primarily softies and LPS, with a few Monti Caps in there.

Please answer Haven's question first...I don't want to highjack his thread.....
 
Have you checked out this thread on RC? Lot's of knowledgeable people and pic's of different bulb combo's.

I'm currently experimenting as well, as this is my first go-around with T5's. I've got an 8-bulb setup and my next try will be with 6-ATI Blue Plus, 1- ATI Fiji Purple and 1 6k-7k bulb (not sure on brand yet). I'll try and post up some pic's once I get everything setup.

on my aquaticlife fixture im running 2 ati blue+, 1 ati coral+ and 1 kz fiji purp. It's a bit white for my liking, maybe around 10,000k look with that combo but my corals seem to like it.

Still looking for a good LED strip to supplement along with the t5 fixture, thinking about the new reefkoi strip.

Thank you and I'm sorry the autocorrect on my iPad changed your name to Pamper. That is not what I typed. Lol...
