Lighting Combo Question.

[TaylorPilot]

If you had a system running a 250 DE Metal Halide, and a single T5 color, what would they be?

I am thinking I may try a Ushio 20,000k MH with Pure Actinic T5. Any other suggestions?

No one buys MH bulbs anymore?! LOL

I was also looking into the Geisemann Megachrome Coral (14,500K) or Crystal (17,500K)bulbs.

I had a similar question, but with 2 bulbs. I have a LED light currently I am going to supplement and I was thinking ATI bulbs, Coral Plus and Blue Plus.

I run Phoenix 14Ks and ATI Blue+, though I like the mix of blue + and coral + a bit better.

My setup actually has 2 T5 bulbs, but I am afraid they won't mix well being on opposite sides of the MH reflector.

I would probably go with 2 blue plus if it was my tank

I think I will go with the blue +, I kind of want to try the megachrome 17,500K bulb by itself to see how blue it is make sure it won't be too blue. I've never tried one, but always want to try new things. With a $20 premium of course. LOL
