I'm in the process of changing from kessil 160 blue tuna's to Aquatic life T5HO hybrid fixture with the AI prime LED. what are you guys inputs? What should I use as T5 bulb combos(4) bulbs? I watch a few BRS and Tidel Garden Youtubes think I will try two Bule + and two Purple + Bulbs.
Also a cincern reading up on aculmatting to the T5 lights , want to run them short times and add as the tank gets use to the increase in PAR.
Placement hight, I was thinking 8" - 10" off water.
Tank: 24x24x24 cube marineland mixed(tobe) reef....
Thanks guys for the input.........
 
Two Purple+ might be overkill for that spectrum. Look into either Super Blue or Actinic for coral growth IMO.
