Led T5 or both

[Justin poirier]

I have a fluval pro that is quite small for my tank but is a lot brighter then the new T5 I just bought and I'm currently just using both while the T5 messes with my led and turns them off I've spaced them so that dosnent happen. Anyway do you think this lighting is adequate or should I get better bulbs of T5 or just bring the T5 back and get a longer led it has a 10 k 28 watt bulb and actinic blue light bulb currently

Depends on what you're going to keep, coral-wise. I always found the fluval type leds to be a bit on the weak side as far as output, so I would supplement with the t5s if it were me.

Like I said I'm using both currently any idea of what T5 light I should use

I would probably go with more t5 if anything. Look at ATI or Geissman for bulbs, they're the cream of the crop in terms of bulbs. What kinds of coral are you planning on keeping? That will help us advise better on lighting options. Also tank dimensions would help with options.

Use both, the ramp is great and lower power so you can use a longer photoperiod and the t5 only for the peak. An ATI c+ B+ is pretty standard an will look good with that Led. Might want to look into a small diy canopy too.

I had an older current with ati retrofits. grows corals GOOOD.

What ATI Retrofit do you mean Saltyfilmfolks? Perhaps just ATI bulbs, as we don't offer a retrofit kit. Check out LET Lighting Retrofit kit for a great option.
