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.

The corals seem happy but the growth is slow, maybe I'll take out the atinic and put in another super blue.

I am also following this thread.
I am running a rsm 250 with six T5 bulbs!


Is there a difference in the T5 light manufacturers?

Seems like for the colours you guys are mentioning, they are the Korallen-Zucht brand?

Here's a few pics. As I said 4 blue plus 1 actinic and 1 Fiji pink
