T5 bulb combo advice???

[Juniorh2r]

I'm current running 2x coral plus and 2 blue plus march makes a year and I wanted to switch bulbs. My question is quick combo provides better growth but isn't too white? The current ones I'm running are pretty white. I'm also running 2x reef led 90s. All advice would be appreciated thanks in advance.

I run 2 blue plus, 1 coral plus and 1 actinic. White leds almost max, and a bit of blue from the leds as well to get that extra color pop. Personally I really like it, doesn't look extremely blue nor is it very white.

And good growth?

I was thinking about that combo.

Can't say yet, only got this light 2 weeks ago
I do notice much, much better PE already though. The previous owner used the same bulbs except he used an aquabluespecial instead of the actinic and he had good growth.

Same 4 bulb combo with a 50/50 Reefbrite tech led strip, very similar final coloration as well. I can also vouch for enjoying the combination.

Also @Juniorh2r in case you want a similar look, this is what my program looks like. As I said I like the LED's blues to get just a little more color pop. I also use a tiny bit of red because without it I feel like the overall look is still just a bit too bluish. This is an older fixture so I'm sure newer LEDS have different color options.

Oh man... "good growth" is so relative and connected to so many variables. This is simply something everyone will tell you a bunch of things that not necessarily will work for your tank. Basically speaking you have a pretty good combo there to start with and if you want to change for a bit more blue, and at the same time allow enough juice for some "good growth", change one Coral Plus for a Blue Plus. That will be your best bet, simply speaking. Growth also depend on many water quality factors.

This is the combo I'm running and this is about 2 months growth.
