ATI Bulb Suggestion???

[kbriers]

I recently ordered a 48"x24"x21" rimless tank and I'm going to go with a ATI sunpower 8x39 fixture. I was wondering if anyone runs this bulb combo? Or any other suggestion?

I'm trying to go for a 15Kish look. I'm not a big fan of a overly blue look.

I currenly run 2 kessil a150's Ocean blue over a 40 breeder and I like that color but, I would like to have just a little less blue. Ideally, I'm shooting for a slightly blue look with other colors to make reds,yellows and greens "pop"

This is my first go at T5's and I know there are 1000's of color combo's but I would rather not spend the extra money playing with bulb combo's.

Any suggestions with accurate pics would be most appreciated.

The ge6500 will brighten things up and it will bring out greens and the yellows, the purple will help with yellows and reds.
Give it a try.
Its a solid combo but it may not be for everyone, its up to you, if you like it then that is all that matters.

Cool, thanks everyone. I will look at that thread as well for some pics.

Pics won't tell you anything cameras, don't capture t5 bulbs true to life and even if they did if my monitor settings are different to yours we will both see something different.

I'd replace 1 blue + with an Actinic, and your good to go I'd say.
