Hi All!
I am building a new tank and I will be doing t5/led hybrid lighting for the first time. I have never used T5 before so this is all new to me.
I have a 36" fixture that came with ATI Blue Plus and Coral Plus Bulbs (One of each on each side of the fixture)
I am going to use 2x Radion XR30 pro Gen 3's in the middle. This is all going over my waterbox 130.4 (48x24x22) tank.
I have a PAR meter so I will be dialing in my LED's, but my question is how do I setup the the T5s?
Do I run both Coral Plus and Blue Plus bulbs the entirety of my "daylight" schedule I'm setting up for my LEDs?
Do I run Blue Plus all day, but turn on Coral plus only during peak hours? (I would assume I have to put the same color bulb on each side to accomplish this)
Do I run both only during peak hours?
Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a common topic....
