ATI 24" 6 bulb SunPower

[zemuss]

I just purchased this light and want to know what bulb combination I should go for?

I bought all blue plus bulbs with the light but wanted to know what others I should try.

 

[zemuss]

Anyone?

In my 6 bulb I run:
Blue+
Blue+
Coral+
Blue+
Purple+
Blue+

And I'm very happy with the combo. There's some info in bulb combos here

I like that combo as well. 4 blue 1 purple and 1 coral.

 

[zemuss]

cool i probably can get the 1 purple and 1 coral here.

Once I get this fixture i will be selling my LED system.

Also how long do you run your lights for with the T5HO? 6, 8, 10 or 12 hours

Here's a some of our customer's favorite combinations. We have found most folks prefer a bluer look to their tank as it helps to bring our more colors in their corals. Please remember that bulb choice is ultimately a matter of personal preference and what works for one, may not work for another.
