So on my current setup I run a hybrid setup with 1 noopsyche k7 pro and a 4 bulb t5 fixture with 2 blue plus bulbs and 2 coral plus bulbs. and I think I get pretty good growth from my acros with this setup. However, I’ve been noticing that T5 bulbs are getting harder and hard to find especially 36 inch bulbs so what are some things people are using to replace their T5 set ups that still provide the coverage and growth of T5s? because I do eventually want to move away from T5 lighting since it’s harder to get a hold of nowadays.

That was my next option, cause it was the only one that seemed to make sense! Have you noticed the increase in growth or color?
I just changed them 4 weeks ago, didn’t see anything change on the growth yet but color is improving. I got bright yellow on my Pink Floyd and deep blue on my Jolt that not too much with T5 before.
