Replacement T5 bulbs

[Tim]

Just wondering what opinions some of you might have on whats the best replacment bulbs are for my T5 fixture. Mine came with 2 blue atinics and 2 white, one of the blues has blown and I want to get a quality bulb. The other question I have, I was told that running 3 blues and one white would bring the colors of my corals out much more, any thoughts on that?

ATI. 2xAqua Blue Plus and 2xActinic.

But you can also trade out one of the actinics for a purple plus for a little different look

How about some links? I picked up a Coralife True colours today. Its pink! Actually its for a fresh water system and good for growing plants. It looks HORRIBLE on my tank. With my red cyano problem....things really look disgusting!

ya, most of those lights in pet store are for freshwater planted tanks and will just cause you issues.

I would suggest calling up these guys, they are the best and have such awesome service.
