T5 bulb combo help

[ScottyMcReefer]

I currently run 3 ati blues and 1 18k. I want a darker feel to make the colors POP more. I feel the 18k is off setting the color and making the tank too white. Would a fiji purple be a good swap for the 18k? I dont want to lose zoa and paly growth so this is why I'm asking.

I am not familiar with the "18k" bulb. What is the brand? How much more white is it compared to your blue+ bulbs?

I don't think that the aquablue special would be a good replacement, this bulb will be just as white if not more than your current 18k bulb.

I think you should go with the fiji purple bulb, it will really pop all of your reds and pinks.

Haha that's what I put ^
you shouldn't worry about growth t5 and MH have proven to be fast growers but LED is still shady on growth.
