Hello all,

Setting up a 220. My primary lights are Kessil 360X. Looking to add 2 T5 Bulbs to hide the shadows. What bulbs are people using to supplement their LED's?

Thanks,
Ben

If you are only adding 2 bulbs, I would go with Blue + or Coral + depending on the look you are going for. They tend to be the best for coral growth IME.

I agree with @ReeferReefer And when I setup my next system I will be going with Blue+ They really make everything Pop and seem to benefit the corals as well.

I’m gathering equipment now to setup a 90 gal. Already have 2 hydra 26 with 4 dimmable t5 to be retro fitted in the canopy. 2 blue plus and 2 coral plus. Best combo I’ve seen with leds. Plus like what’s been mentioned already corals love them.

Happy reefing
Matt
