hey all,

i'm pretty satisfied with my tank livestock wise.

but one thing that can improve is coloration.

I have a large RBTA that should be a great focal point, but imo its rather dull looking color wise.

i'm running a 120w 27" maxspect razor over a standard 65G tank.
I've got white channel up around 85% and blues at 100% at peak.

I was thinking that maybe a couple retrofit t5s would do the trick.
2 x 36" bulbs?

but I've never used t5s before. so I don't know if the leds would overpower them?

what bulbs to use? etc

anyone care to chime in?!?
