I have 5 blue then a regular purple atI bulb in my red sea max 250, i had originally bought 2 of the white bulbs but the white was way over powering, so I change to 1 purple bulb. I have seen decent growth with Lps and sps. They defiantly put off way less heat then regular t5s. Not sure that i would go with this set up if i didnt have the hood on my tank i would more then likely get a ai set up that i could change colors around on.
