With my new set up I plan to do the lighting differently. I am going to be using t5's and LED's. My plan is to buy the 48" DX18 Hybrid Dimmable T5 HO light. T5's are all new to me so I don't know which bulbs to buy for this fixture. The tank will be sps dominate with some lps. Looking mostly for growth and of course looks are important too. Any suggestions?
 
Yeah most people use blue t5s in their hybrid fixtures but I think that I would personally try using either coral plus or aqua blue special bulbs in it instead and use the leds for the blue since they’re what really make the corals glow. And if the t5s aren’t enough to grow then ramp up the white leds for the extra punch. Just my opinion though
