Going bluer with my T5 light fixture.

[Sarah24!]

@SeaJay I can do that for Ya . This bulb color & what pleases my eye is a tuff choicefor me .
@ crabsmjones That's only 2 bulbs difference & at 25 bucks each , I can make the change. In fact I'm sure I have 2 Blue plus bulbs left over from the last change. Didn't think of that ! Thanks
Iv'e been to people's home where the tank is so blue , the only thing I can see is fluorescing corals . Either way here I go !

Ok done deal, I ordered some other stuff too. However 222.65$ later, I'm not happy as I "hate" spending money ! How in the world did I let You Folks talk me into this ?

. @ Sarah24 It really isn't all that blue , If the light actually turns on, I'll take some pics for You tomorrow ! Gotta promise not to mention all the algae !
Ps Smurf blue ? Hummfff !

Hello,

Lol sorry but off all the people I could see you would do
The smurf blue color. we all get some algae even I do, I just have to scrub it off and keep it at bay. If my lazy tangs actually weee to look for food, they would find a lot of it lol. Nope they wait for me tk feed them every night. The lazy bums.

Am I missing something here? Either I did or you are a master of suspense.

So what’s the decision. Did you settle on the bulb combo you will use? Dying to see a pic.

I need to get 4 t5 bulbs so I was hoping you had settled on a combo to take the guesswork out for me.
I am on the fence between using 2 coral plus a blue plus and an actinic OR 2 blue plus 1 coral plus and a purple.

I don’t like blue. did you happen to get a chance to compare the coral plus to the blue plus? I want to go with the less blue one. I can use my leds for the blues

I say, picking bulbs is so confusing.

Hey Folks here is you pic , I wasn't was not as blue as I thought , It looks pretty good. However I think it washes out the color of the fish . I may add one of the other coral plus bulbs . You really can't see the color with the pic.
Also the Par was the same . So no worries there .

Hey @cracker , hope all is well. Did you stick with the all blues?

I hung mine with 2 coral plus, a blue plus and a purple. I am using my 52 hd for more blues. I got and extra actinic, but thinking may be 2 blue.

How’s your going so far? Thanks
