Have aquaticlife 36” t5/led fixture to run over a Red Sea Reefer 250. Probably mixed reef with more SPS focus, at least my goal right now.

Plan on Running 2 hydra 26hd on Ab+ settings.
any suggestions for the 4 t5 bulbs? Initial thought was to run 4 ati blue plus.

Realize there is no right or wrong but just curious to hear what others think?

All blue plus is good. I run 2 blue plus and 2 coral plus. It’s a little whiter.

I also run 2 blue plus and 2 coral plus. I have a 48" T5-LED hybrid with two Radion XR15 G4Pro over a 150 gal (5' by 2' by 2'). No complaints.

It is interesting how many different options. Ati suggest 3 blue plus and a purple plus but don’t think they are considering leds paired with it.

One thing I see all DO agree on so far is no one runs only all blue plus so think I probably won’t do that either.
