Bulb Recommendations

[mfh_anderson]

Hi, posted this before and didnt write the recos down and cant find that thread, so im back to ask again, sorry.

I have a 8X54W T5HO, what bulbs do you recommend to bring out color in corals and promote growth?

Thanks,
Alvin

Might be awhile before you have a response, as you'll need to wait for someone who's got a T5 setup and knows enough about different setups to recommend one way or another.

I will say this, though, that it depends on what you want. What one guy recommends might not be what you like.

That thread has a guy who bought a T5 setup. he describes his and he even changed it halfway through. I believe it's 8 bulbs wide, so you'd definitely do well to read that thread. He shows his first setup in the first page or two, then the changed setup around page 5.

Good luck.
