So long story short...

I'm running 2 Chinese black box leds over my tank right now. I'll add a picture. I just built a free custom stand for my lights and made it so I can attach 4 t5s as well. 2 on either side of my leds. I'm going to buy some single T5HO strips to custom mount to my light bracket. (I'll include a link)

My question is. What ATI bulbs should I use. I'm thinking 2 coral plus and 2 blue plus. I would put the coral plus on the inside and the blue plus on the outsides.

Here's the link:

Can you please share how you made that custom light stand? I'm also thinking about getting T5 retrofits for my blackbox LEDs but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to mount it. I don't have a canopy and can't really drill hole in the walls (apartment complex). Thanks!!
 
Not a problem. I have a buddy at work who can weld. And a welder there. I cut a all the Pericles and he welding it together.

To be honest. Before this I made a bracket out of PVC and hung it over the tank. Then string the light with some wire under the pvc.

It might cost you some dough if u don't have a hookup like I did of free material and a welder.
