good day all

I am hoping that I can get some help with something. I recently picked up a tri-bulb t8 fixture (came with a couple 8x8” leds I picked up). I was thinking of getting a couple 10000k bulbs and an antic but I was looking online and I see that there are led replacement tubes out now but I can seem to find anything above 6500k.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with them at all and if so if there are any decent replacements out or if I should just get a couple antic bulbs and and 10000k and call it a day.

Any info anyone has would be helpful.

Thanks

First off:
Welcome to Reef 2 Reef :)

FWIW:
I tried replacing some of my T5's with those E5's.

Bottom Line:
It was an pure waste of time, money and I have never seen a proven reef from day one that grew from Led florescent "replacement" tubes.
