I'm reposting this here as there is more traffic here on T5 type question's.
I am currently running the AquaMaxx 250W 14K SE bulb's along with the (2) 39W Gmann actinics (2) 39W Gmann actinics+ (IC660)and (2) 24W Fiji Purples(IC430). From front to back it's setup actinic, FP, act+ Halide's then act+, FP, act on the back side. I would like more "pop"(blue) so......would it be better to swap out all of the actinic's for ATI blue plus to go along with the FP's or what is the best "combination" to go with. I have put a blue+ in before and the bulb color looked visually the same as the G-Mann act+ but not sure if brightness was the same or if the tank itself looked much different. I was also wondering since the T5's are used for actinic mostly, if I even need to overdrive them. I have read that overdriving actinic's may not be a good thing but wanted clarification on if I may be losing some "pop" by overdriving. Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
