Adding to T5's

[Bryon]

I was wondering what I could add to my four bulb t5's to help the color in my corals really pop. I don't plan on doing any sps corals. I'm just going to do the lps, zoas, and soft corals. Thanks

Add a ReefBrite Tech blue led. Really made a difference for my tank.

Reefbrites are amazing I have 5 xho and 3 regulars and love them. What size tank you have I have a blue 48inch laying around I might sale or trade.

I have a 65g. I believe it's 36" long. I'm not home right now to measure it.

Should I use one the same length as my t5's? Also, what times should it be on?

I bought a ecoxotic LED stunner strip for my tank and used it as a moonlight type deal, on for 12 hours reg lights on for 8 or 9 (was using T5's) it helped coral color a little but the moonlight effect was the nicest thing, it made things glow in the morning and at night. I like this effect of LEDs and it was only 100 bucks total. Kinda pricey but it was worth it imo.

I tried using a couple ecoxotic strips with my ATI fixture and found when all of the T5 bulbs were off, the leds made the coral colors really pop. But as soon as the T5's came on the leds were completely washed out. No effect to the eye what so ever.
I just read that there are T5's Made by UVL 454 bulbs. I use the VHO 454 bulbs on my 240 and love the color.

I'm looking for the corals to really pop during the day while my t5's are on. Not worried about getting the shimmer, just amazing coral color. Is it even possible with the t5's on?
