Hey guys new to the forums.
I have two kessil a150s on an old oceanic 58 gallon I love the way they look and they have some good light output but the 15k and a single point light source isnt the best spectrum. My problem is i absolutely hate white tanks and I have a t bulb T5 DIY kit with icecap 660 ballast. My current setup has the T5s in the back with old UVL actinics in them that i dont like the pink color they give off. I will be making a new hood the goes T5- 2x a150- T5. My question is. What T5 bulbs should i go with. I will have the t5 bulbs on for an hour before the leds to have a minor sunrise effect. The tank is mixed right now, but i will be fragging out or removing most of my zoas and palys to put them in a 15g long custom AIO and my tank will transition to mostly SPS with zoas as the outskirts
Im leaning towards either BLUE+ and Coral Pro.....or..... Blue+ and Fiji purple
Heres old pictures of the tank its new here and has little growth but its pretty much a blue spectrum i want the reds and oranges and yellows and all that to come out. But i feel like the kessils are like a T5 fixture filled with ATI blue + and actinics lol
