More like, wow that would be ugly.

I don't see anything wrong with you current set up. Are you not like the growth/color?

I would like maybe a bit more pop as far as color… Initially I had this combination:

Blue +
Coral +
Actinic
Blue +
Blue +
Actinic
Coral +
Blue +

But the color was similar to a turquoise blue, it looked horrible so I replaced a Blue + for a Purple + and that made it look much better but Im still not 100% satisfy with the color.

There is a T5 thread on here which may help answer your question better on tubes for your T5 light.

Def check the T5 thread as it pretty much sums up everything as long as you willing to put in the reading or at least browsing time.

I like things a bit a touch blue. I also feel like the coral+ bulb delivers all the purple I'm looking for. But thats me
