Opinion on this 4 t5 bulb combo...???

[Juniorh2r]

X1 Giesemann 6500k, x1 Ati coral plus, x1 Ati blue+, x1 Ati acentic
These are the bulbs I wanna try next on my hybrid fixture tank is mixed reef with lots of sps. Running 2 reef led 90s too. Opinions please . BTW spa are not colonies most are encrusted and thick at the base. I've been in the hobby three years still learning.

Those are good bulbs. The 6500k is going to make it pretty white, but the others will still provide fluorescence. Coupled with the LED's, I think you'll be just fine.

Or 1 acentic 1 blue plus 1 coral plus 1 purple plus??

In regards to the T5 combos... They are good bulbs...
You just have to try and see if you like them or not.

For a hybrid, I would just use 2 & 2 of B+ and C+, then adjust color with the LEDs.

This is what I run in my fixture along with 2 kessil 360x. I like the look.

Front to back I have actinic, coral, purple,blue.

Do you have any pictures? And thought about that too.

My T5s run for 8 hours a day with along with the kessils that run 12 hours with a ramp up and down. I think my kessils are set at their peak of daylight at around 60% color, I'd have to check my schedule. I do have the controller which let's me add in the UV, R, and G.

The colors look nice and Im very happy with it. I'm not a fan of the super blue tanks. Tank starts a nice brighter blue for a couple hours. It then transitions to the daylight mode of a nice sky-blue that the corals look nice but not unnatural, before ending on almost pure actinic with the craY pop we all like. I do have a hard time taking pictures as they appear very blue for some reason.

I like the color !

My orange lepto and forest fire digi look great, my 24 k lepto looks nice and yellow, all my greens pop and glow the entire photo period. My acros look good all day as well but some of them really pop in the evening as the kessils ramp to a bluer overall color while the tank still looks bright.

 

[Juniorh2r]

Nice! I'll probably go with that combo looks nice and a little more variety.

White T5 bulbs can be very overpowering. If your 4 bulb combo is too white it's hard to tone it down and make it bluer with the LEDs. If the t5 is overly blue it is very easy to whiten it up with the LEDs.
