So long story short...

I'm running 2 Chinese black box leds over my tank right now. I'll add a picture. I just built a free custom stand for my lights and made it so I can attach 4 t5s as well. 2 on either side of my leds. I'm going to buy some single T5HO strips to custom mount to my light bracket. (I'll include a link)

My question is. What ATI bulbs should I use. I'm thinking 2 coral plus and 2 blue plus. I would put the coral plus on the inside and the blue plus on the outsides.

Can you please share how you made that custom light stand? I'm also thinking about getting T5 retrofits for my blackbox LEDs but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to mount it. I don't have a canopy and can't really drill hole in the walls (apartment complex). Thanks!!
 
Not a problem. I have a buddy at work who can weld. And a welder there. I cut a all the Pericles and he welding it together.

To be honest. Before this I made a bracket out of PVC and hung it over the tank. Then string the light with some wire under the pvc.

It might cost you some dough if u don't have a hookup like I did of free material and a welder.
