Bulb Combo?

[md14]

Well its time to get some new T5 bulbs, was just wondering anybody got a combo they really like or any bulbs they recommended. First time i'm really going to be buying bulbs so any opinions/comments are welcomed. I'm leaning towards a more 14k look as I like the blue hue

(It's an LPS Tank)

The unit is a ATI Powermodule 6 x39w

Some good ideas here.

If you want more of a blue color i highly reccomend looking into the aqua science 22,000k blue bulbs or if you want some growth the 17,000k aqua science bulbs (haven't tried these myself but they are on the list). right now i have mostly 14,000k KZ new generations running for the soul purpose of growth. if you want blue this is what i would run:

aqua science 22,000k blue
KZ or aqua science 14,000k
KZ or aqua science 14,000k
aqua science 22,000k blue (i just replaced this bulb for another 14,000k)
KZ or aqua science 14,000k
aqua science 22,000k blue

You could also switch one of the 14,000k and run a fiji purple for color which is what i had for a few months and i can say that it did help. as per my tests these are you best combo's for color from your corals. stay away from pure actinic's, they are a waste of a bulb when it comes to t5's
