Im planning on supplementing my radion G3 pro with two 24w T5s. My tank is a 25g lagoon, 24''x18''x12'' mostly SPS, but starting to see where I lack.

Im currently running the spsAB schedule, what T5s would you put on either side? Im thinking Blue+ and Purple+ but I would like to hear from those with experience/preferences.
 
Following along as well, i picked two t-5 retrofit kits ( 4 bulbs total) over black friday and bought a coral+, a purple+ and 3 blue+ bulbs. I figured i could swap them out to see what i like best.
 
This is what under my hood

Reason for adding t5s to Radions is light coverage otherwise the Radion alone is more than enough to grow anything in your tank.
So i would recommend 2 blue plus.
Reason: blue plus alone can grow/pop coral. I have seen awesome sps tank under ATI fixture with ALL blue plus. Purple plus doesn't pop coral that much. As for the grow, just increase the white/red color on your Radion.

One benefit of led fixture is that they can increase/decrease individual color channel. So if you decide to go with 2 blue plus, just increase the red channel.

Just my 2cents.
