    Hey guys. I'm fairly new to the whole lighting scene and thought I'd ask for some help before I placed an order to replace my 4x T5 HO bulbs.

    So I have a 6 bulb fixture over my 90 gallon. I want a color that is more blue than white, but can support good growth as well. I want a color that will make my corals pop as well as letting the fish have a nice bright color. Maybe also let it seem bright to the eye. Do you think this bulb...

    Just bought new lights for my 6 bulb t5 setup... Went with 4 Actinic, 1 Pink & one Blue/white. Wanted a little more "pop" from especially my painted frogspawn. Does anyone recommend maybe swapping out an Actinic or for a Fiji Purple. Any recommendations would be great!
