Need some T5 experts to chime in!

Hey everyone-Here in a few weeks i will be aquiring my second ATI Powermodule 48"-10 bulb fixture. I want to have a tank built around these fixtures and I am up in the air between"
60x48x24
or
48x48x24

Either way both tanks would be designed to be 360 degree walk around with a center overflow rimless and black silicone.


To my question:
What bulbs should i use in these fixtures since all 4 sides will actually be viewable? And what order? It will be kinda like a 20 bulb fixture.


Here is what i have for my first fixture.

ATI Blue Plus
Aqua Science Special
URI Actinic
Aqua Science Blue
ATI Actinic
Aqua Science Special
Fiji Purple
ATI Actinic
Aqua Science Special
ATI Blue Plus

Go for the 60" tank :D The 48" fixture will provide plenty of light. 60" x 48" footprint is AWESOME man!!!

Lighting looks good to me, FWIW, and as you proly know now, the ATI Blue+ and AS Blue are very similar, except price ;)

That's what I would do attinics one in though so you cover the hole tank with attinics personly would ditch the attinic for some attinic led and add more blue pluse

I had only 1 white bulb on my 8 bulb kit before.... I had fiji purples, 3500Kreds, 420, 460s

650-IS350 that was a nice bulb configuration you had going,do you still have it?

 

[650-IS350]

Nah, sold the whole set to a fellow reefer when I got rid of my old 100.

Any pics of it setup with those lights? I will have about 26 bulbs to play around with once the second fixture is aquired.

Some really old ones that I took with a crappy point and shoot a long time ago
