What bulbs to use

[Syrandy 36]

I have a 72 gallon bow front. Fish and coral. I just got a 4 bulb t5 set up. Should I keep the bulbs that came with it (2 white/2actinic) or should I change it up?

If the lamps are older than 6 months, I would change them anyway. Bulb preferences vary.

i'd go w a 6 bulb over a 72 but that's just imo.
i'd go ati bulbs 3 blues 1 aquablu special.
^that thread should be helpful.

i would go ati 3 blue + and a purple. if you like it a little whiter you could do coral + instead of the purple. id see if anyone has some old ati bulbs laying around they could let you have or borrow so you can play with the color combo and see what you like before purchasing.
