I have 2 hydra 26's over my 75 gallon sps, lps, softies and zoas. I am looking to add a 2 bulb 48" T5 to make tank. I would like to get better color and growth out of my sps I'm not sure what bulbs I should use. What company? what color? please help[

ATI Blue+ seems to be the goto bulb for feeding corals...

Due to being in a hood and close to the water, I'm running 2 26s and a 'plain' hydra on a program that only ramps up to 50% power with 2 T5 bulbs (front and back of the hood) for 4hrs in the middle of the day.

I just did this as well on my 150g cube. I have a zetlight 6600a fixture and added 2 t5 36inch retrofit kits. I have 2 ati blue+ and 2 actinic bulbs. So far i do like the color and the corals seem to be happy but too early to tell.

This is when I wish I had a canopy and not a Rimless tank. I really would like to add 2 t5 bulbs to my AI sols but I can not figure out how to cleanly add them to the hanging leds.
