I am ordering this tank https://www.innovative-marine.com/shop/EXT-100-Gallon-Complete-Reef-System-–-White-p533177011
I have horrible OCD so I double and triple check everything so bear with me.
I have 2 36in hybrid fixtures that are joined together(they where designed that way) on my current tank but I am gonna take one fixture and use it with 3 of my radion xr15 g5 blues on this new tank.
I think this should rock this tank but want to make sure before I go this way. (t5 bulbs will be 2 coral plus and 2 actinic)
Any suggestions please let me know
These hybrids have wing so I can move them as seen below

Radion and T5 is a top tier lighting setup.

I would go with 2 blue plus and 2 aqua blue specials for a more white look from your T5.

The Radion blues are going to add plenty of blue pop, you don’t need 2 actinic bulbs.

Yeah I was thinking 2 coral plus and 2 blue plus
 
I take it you are not a fan of radion?
Not the xr15 they have horrible par numbers.. 30’s are okay. I sold my radions and went back to halides myself. The 15 with a t5 will work fine thou.
