jumped into the aquatic life hybrids and wanna know the best bulb combo for growth?

Currently I have 2 randiosn XR30(not the pro the normal version) and I’m getting good colors and visually i love how Radion look so with the T5 I’m not concerned about looks I will eliminate the shading and would want to get better growth and maybe color the 3 bulbs I see are popular are coral+, purple+ and blue+ But I see most post dwelled on how the tank looks I’m not concerned about that since the bulbs will be on when I’m at works and the Radions give me the color I like

If growth is the primary concern and you’re not worried about seeing it put a Giesemann tropic 6500k and an ati true actinic in each t5 section. The spectrum and coverage will fill in every gap and absolutely improve growth. Your colors under the radions will be improved as well due to the big bump in the 380-430nm and the 480-500 nm range. Your spectrum and par will be all you could need. Don’t bother with blue+ bulbs. You’re just adding more of the same with that
