I pass... I don't have a PAR meter and I'm not allowed to keep sticks anyways.

I have a zoa tank. No hard corals allowed in the house.You don't do acros? Why?

The aquablue special was supposed to be more white I thoughtI would say that each pair of T5 will add about 50-75 PAR each due to the 18" height. If you were closer, like 9" it would 100 PAR each pair.
I would chose T5s with some white due to the Radiums blue color. But that's me.

The Coral Plus is better to grow corals...The aquablue special was supposed to be more white I thought
It's there whitest bulb. Personally I think it washes out the others. Why not just blue plus bulbs? Try a purple plus with a coral plus instead of the ABS if you want some white.The aquablue special was supposed to be more white I thought

Coral Plus is bluish/whiter...
Aquablue special has red in it.

With the Radiums that would be a great option and would save lots of hours of the T5 bulbs!!!The truth is the T5s aren't going to do a ton compared to the 400w halides. They are strictly dusk/dawn or fine tuning the color to the eye. Add in that Giesemann reflectors are sub par (pun intended) and no cooling, there will be a modest increase in PAR that isn't even needed.
Personally, I'd turn the T5s off while the halides are on. Use them for night time viewing or working in the tank so you don't fry your arms under the halides.
I agree. In that case, 2 blue plus and 2 actinic.The truth is the T5s aren't going to do a ton compared to the 400w halides. They are strictly dusk/dawn or fine tuning the color to the eye.

Is there 2 T5 channels, or just one cord for all 4 T5 bulbs?I agree. In that case, 2 blue plus and 2 actinic.
I think standard is 1 cord for all bulbs. My Spectra was modified by the previous owner and I have 2 channels thankfullyIs there 2 T5 channels, or just one cord for all 4 T5 bulbs?

Yeah, I was just curious because I would get the fixture and run 2 Coral Plus on one channel and 2 Blue Plus on the other...Not sure? If it's dawn/dusk it won't matter. I run that combo on my fixture with 20k halides. Hamilton bulbs though.
That's great! Did the previous owner modify only that part?I think standard is 1 cord for all bulbs. My Spectra was modified by the previous owner and I have 2 channels thankfully
