Hey every one, I'm adding 2 48 inch t5 bulbs to sup. My leds. I just figure it will help my sps alot, Im looking for sugestion as to what 2 bulb combo should I use ? Idk anything about t5 bulbs , always had led. So name brands and what ever info I can hey would be great. Thanks as always
 
It depends on the LEDs and what look you're aiming for. I think most people would agree that ATI is the most common bulb brand used, and you're probably going to be recommended Blue+, Coral+, or Purple+ to be used for supplemental lighting.
 
I'm using ATI blue+ and coral+ with 2 Kessil A160WE on a 75g. The t5's turn on when the Kessils reach peak and stay on for 5 hrs and turn off when the Kessils start ramping down.
 
I just got one t5 lamp at the moment, getting the other one next week on payday lol, the store did t havery ati bulbs, so I got a giesemann super purple bulb. It looks nice ( don't know if it's any good lol ) what else can I add to it ?
