Hi,

After thinking a lot finally I thought about buying this Aquatic Life T5 light fixture 30" model.It has 4 T5 bulbs. I think each is 24 watts. I already have a current USA marine led lighting system. Just need an extra lighting system to support my sps corals.

I have a 56 gallon 24" deep tank. I have soft corals like mushrooms,xenia,zoas,GSP and SPS corals like birds nest, montipora capricornis and digitata corals. All the sps corals are on the top of the rock structure. But I want to upgrade the bulbs of this fixture to more hight output bulbs which helps to grow my sps corals.

I found this page with the bulbs that suits 30" model but I have no idea which bulb replaces which and what their values mean. :doh:
I don't know which bulbs helps to grow corals more.

My personal favorite 4 bulb T5 combo is 3 ATI Blue Plus and 1 ATI Purple Plus. This combo has a great 20K like color, and has good PAR values.
