12 bulb t5

[cimmorine]

I'm using this fixture over my 150G and need help deciding what color spectrum I should get other than your blues and whites. I just bought 3 aquablue specials, 2 actinic plus, and 1 coral plus. What else do you think I should buy?
Also, if you're using a 12 bulb t5 fixture would you mine posting a pic up with bulb details?

Thanks!

12bulbs???? Holy flying kungFu panda!! I know some folks on here really dig the blue+ ,which you already have but probably should add more, and the purple+. I have a 6 x54watt fixture and still messing with the bulbs to get the right combo. I,m assuming yours is 54wt5ho?

Holy T5 fixture batman! Why not just throw the whole ati lineup at it and see what it does? J/k..... I would definetly do plenty of blue + in there GL

What about a fiji purple (KZ.)
I hear it helps bring out the reds nicely.

I would do 8 blue plus 2 true actinic and 2 coral plus.

I personally don't like the aqua blue special I think it washes out color too much I use the coral plus instead with good results. I run 5 blue plus and 3 coral plus in a ati sunpower.

I am all about ATi Blue +, ATI Purple + and ATI Coral +. I also like the GE 6500k. If it were me, I'd do something along the lines of the below combo.

Its a 72" 39w current usa fixture. There are 6 bulbs on each side of the fixture each 36"
