Hi there,
I'm looking for recommendations on T5 bulbs to go with the phoenix. I'm going to retrofit 4 T5's into a phoenix 14k 150w HQI fixture for a sps frag/qt tank.
I will probably also be adding some DIY LED of a couple kessil 160's to this fixture.
So far for the T5 I'm thinking 2x actinic + and 2x blue plus on separate ballasts. I'm wondering if I should bother with blue plus if I plan on adding royal blue LEDs. I do want at least 2 actinics for added spectrum and extended viewings.
I'm not opposed to swapping the blue plus for a purple or something else if you guys think that it would compliment the phoenix 14k well.
