Have you looked into a procolor bulb?

To tell the trueth no, i havnt seen any examples (wink wink nudg nudg) nor did the site im buying from carry them. I just looked it up and it seems that the fiji is picked more due to the more par and you get better colr out of it

I would go with 5 ATI Blue + and 1 KZ Fiji Purple.

Overkill on the blue+ IMO.

my blue plus wash out my fiji purple. i replaced the fiji purple with a pro color and now i'm much happier. the fiji purple has better numbers, but the pro color is more pleasing to the eye imo. i also run 250w halides which also washed out the fiji purple.

I think ima stay with what i picked up there. I looked for abit and finaly saw some one with that combo and loved his color. Im not sure about the growth but i think looking at the numbers i should be good growth.

I really dont like the actinics they dont have to much color
you should only pick one and replace th other with a blue plus

Also get the blue plus ATI brand as they have mora par then the Giesmann

Not a combo I would like, but the same goes for 5x Blue+ and any other bulb. To me that would be obnoxious... But that's the thing about lighting and color. As long as you're getting good enough par you should just get what you think looks nice. M and M, I suspect that combo you ordered is going to be a lot whiter than you're anticipating.

I run 5 blue+ and 1 75/25 and its still a bit on the white side. I plan on changing the 75/25 for a FP

just a quick question...Do you need a daylight or no? Will it give it better growth? because i hate looking at my tank when the daylights are on..lol

 

[aquafrags]

anybody have any pics of 5 aqua blue with the procolor, seems like too much blue

I think it would be pretty blue. I run 3 ati blue +. 1 uvl super actinic, 2 ati blue plus.

Its pretty nice look with plenty of color pop as well.

 

[mojo]

with 1 ati b+ and 1 uvl super

You mean 3 blue plus and 2 blue special with 1 uvl super actinic
Its a nice combo for coloring

i am currently running:

ati blue+
uvl super act
ati blue+
fiji purple
uvl super act
ati blue+

i like this look, but still need to experiment with swapping out one of the uvl super acts with an aquablue special.

i will put in my 2 cents about leds - unless you've experienced colors under blue leds, you don't know what you're missing. i like my t5 combo, but when i turn on the leds it is a whole new ballgame!

this is a pic i took yesterday of a new arrival. in this pic i have the t5s lit plus the three powerbrite led modules. yes, the colors are this intense in person!

 

[mojo]

yea thats what I meant. Good thing i put a picture up huh? lol

you will geat more growth with new combo benny
actinics are not high par bulbs I only used them to give a nice dawn to dusk with blue plus
but then tested the 2 blue plus for dusk to down and its better as for beeing a blue bulb has a higher par
