best t5 combo for colors on Zoa's

[acidlittle]

So I have t5's and was wondering what people have for their bulb configurations, such as what color bulbs and kind of bulbs!

Thanks all

Tough question because each bulb will bring out a certain color spectrum.

Here is what I went with, but I don't at all suggest that this is the best color spectrum. Just what I like over my tank.

aquablue
blueplus
sun or 65K
blueplus
aquablue

This gives me close to what my 14kMH phoenix was outputting. I do have an actinic blub that I am not using. I may switch out one of the blueplus for this bulb to see what happens.

I forgot to mention that these bulbs were a combo of Giesmann and ATI bulbs, and perhaps UTI?

ok cos what I have is:

10k aquamedic
Actinic plus giesmann
10k aqua aquamedic
Aquablue plus giesmann
10k aquamedic
actinic plus giesmann
10k aquamedic
aquablue plus giesman


i like it thus far

I have the tek 6 bulb with the ice cap reflectors, hears my bulbs:

Actinic plus G-mann
Blue Plus ATI
11k G-mann
6500k GE
Super Actinic URI
Blue Plus ATI

This also gives me a 14k look. Ive had great growth with plate coral, shrooms, xenia, and just started seeing growth with my zoos. Hope this helps,
