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

this is great feedback, all we need are some pics guys

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

I run agua medic 6 light T5 my original light setup made my tank feel dark which was 2 lagoon blue, 2 pink and 2 actinic but that setup brought out the colours

My new setup I went for a brighter look

2 midday
1 actinic
1 pink
2 lagoon blue

My tank is much brighter which I like and have good coral growth but it is a softie tank too. The downside is because my tank is so bright I no longer see the colours pop out

that tank looks great!!!!
