I would too because your tank is just going to be white and little blue so the blue plus adds a lot of color to your coral and makes your aquarium more colorful

I haven't ran t5 lamps in several years and they have changed quite a bit as in spectrum so it would be hard for me to give you a good combo on 2 switches.
Best thing to do is look at the spectral graphs of the lamp types.

I don't really have to much right now as I'm just getting started! Todd was doing a frag swap up in Ellensburg, not sure when, but I imagine it won't be until next year, hopefully by then some of my stuff will be grown out a bit more! Todd has a huge colony of Eagle eyes to share! We need to see if we can generate enough interest by then. Todd also wants to open up a SW store in Ellensburg one day! Here's a picture of his Zoa's.

I think I have some stuff he would want
Personally I would choose at least half the bulbs to be blue plus or the equal of another brand. When they're the only lights on you will get an awesome actinic pop.

It's just a little blue, I would like to experiment and see if I would like it even better with more blue in it.

If you don't mind, how would you place the bulbs in my fixture and run them. It has 8 bulbs and two switches. I'm just not experienced enough with what the different colors would look like. I've been researching, api has an awesome comparison that I shared in another thread, but you just don't get the true look of something unless you can see it in person. Todd and I came up with the combo that I'm using right now and I think it looks pretty good. I really would love to have more of an actinic pop, I believe I've accomplished it somewhat with the bulbs that I just put it, but I think that I might be able to make it even better! Thanks!!!
