T5 lighting….what do you have?
So with my current full change up on the tank i have decided to change up the lighting as well, i wasn't getting the greatest results for my corals after a year and i know way, here is the current lighting set up:
6 bulb t5 fixture 5 supper blue and one fiji purple now looking at everything, there was no real coral growth, just had the blue look i liked. but now i have realized that it needs to be changed. So what are your bulb combos, and what gives you the best look with coral growth? |

I run one actinic, 4 super blues and 1 fiji pink and get amazing results.

4 super blues
1 coral+ 1purple+ |
3 super blue and one blue plus get some great results

Would like to see some tank pics along with the recommendation since my expectation of good growth might not be the same as another reefer. |
2 Fiji purples, 1 super blue, 1 autunic With a couple of 12 " Magenta stunner strips
on my 33 gallon. No sps just softies & zoes. |

How's the growth ? With that combo you only have 1 "stand alone" bulb. The purples and actinic are supplemental bulbs. I would think the par would be pretty low , but I guess for softies and some Lps it would be ok. |

Seems to be a good combo. My sps has great colour and some that were not doing great under led,s are now. To my eyes there seems to be a lack of white. I was debating removing one superblue and adding another coral plus. |
