Guys-

Need some advice. I will be replacing my bulbs from my T5 lighting and wanted to know what everyone else is using. I don't think I want to go with original bulbs from Finnex again. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
How many bulbs is in your fixture? I used only ATI and KZ bulbs,very high PAR and great color.
 
Very nice fixture,for bulb recommendation I would do front to back:
ATI blue plus
KZ fiji purple
KZ new generation
ATI blue plus

you will be pleased with this combo.
 
I have the same fixture, in 24". I used two Aquablue, one Blue+ and one Purple+, all ATI bulbs. Had that going for a little over 3 weeks until I picked up one of those extra LED fixtures Gus had for sale. Absolutely LOVE the color, but even being ATI, my 24" tall cube made it obvious how little light was still making it down into the tank. ALL of my corals are much happier now with the new LED and Im not even back up to a full light cycle yet!
 
think the last time i had T5's i used all Wave-Point bulbs.
used: 1 red, 2 12k, 2 antic (1x 420nm 1x 460nm), 1 purple
they were maybe $12 for a 34" bulb and had good color selection. i never noticed anything bad about them.
