I am not a rich man therefore I use those crappy Chinese black boxes for my LED lighting plus I run two t5 for supplemental lighting I would guess you would say that's what I'm wondering is I'm still not getting the fluorescence my wife sees at the fish store of course they have the super lights what t5 could I use to really bring out those fluorescence
 
Ati makes 24” and 48” super blues, purple plus, Atinics etc. I believe this is what you are seeing in the fish stores. Unless they are using all leds.
 
They're using a AI primes and my wife is driving me crazy why doesn't are corals look like they're corals although I have great growth and color in my opinion but it just doesn't fluorescent or pop the way it does at the store
 
perhaps I misspoke I have to t5 along with my LEDs I'm wondering what bulbs would bring out the best fluorescence like to bring out the orange the blues and the greens

Check out the ati bulbs they are the t5 you are looking for.
 
Nothing will make your corals pop the way LED in the 410-450nm wavelength will. If you can adjust your black boxes, turn the whites down and turn up the blues / uv

Best T5 for pop will be ATI True Actinic.

I got the answer for u. I use to run a blk box and t5s. Turn your blk box blue all the way up, turn your wht a hair past on. Use a ati aquablue special and a coral plus. Best recipe i found for the equipment your using.
 
Here it is
