So I acquired a 8 T5 Set on anew 120 tank that I am transfering corals over slowly from my 65 gallon Mix reef tank SPS to Softies. Blubs are about a year old so I gonna change them and need to know how quick I need to change them and how to space them 4 wait couple 4 or 2 and 2 or all.

Also current setup is

front
Blue +
Purple +
Blue +
6500k

Blue+

Is this good since I am getting new bulbs I want to know what the best combo is I think I wanna change the 6500 to a coral+ or some kind of 10-15k bulk Blub but not sure. Also was thinking of going this route for more white

front
Blue +
Purple +

Or I was thinking to bring my bring my 36" fixture from my 65 gallon with (2) 150 Metal (4) 36" T5 and getting rid of 4 of the 48" t5 and putting the fixture in the middle but it will be lower to the tank because of hanging room. But than I would have (2) 150 Metal (4) 36" T5 middle and (4) 48" T5 2 on outer sides of the 36" fixture.

Than last but not least since Of have to spend a couple 100 on new bulbs I was thinking of getting 2 Cheaper LED light to go with 4 T5 48"

Here are some the Cheap LED I Was thinking of
