I just purchased a used 36" t5/halide combo for my 65 gallon tank. I want to purchase all new bulbs and wondering what you guys recommend as far as colors for the t5's and brands for all. I want a little more blue than what I have now so I was thinking 2 ATI blue + and two true actinic bulbs. As far as the halide I have no idea. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
What power mh and style? Either way, I have liked ATI blue plus for the t5s and I like a 20,000K bulb for the mh. Gives a nice slightly blue, but not too blue look to the tank and corals seem to love the combination. Other t5s I like are KZ, but they cost more than ATI. MH I have gotten ReefLux, Radiums, Hamilton, Ushio. I so far liked the Radiums best and Ushio least. I have single mogul.
