I just got a new 24" t5 4 bulb fixture for my frag tank and need help figuring out what bulbs would help promote the best growth in the tank. Right now there are 2 12k and 2 actinic bulbs. I am wondering if I should change these all out and get new or stick with them? In the tank now is all softies but would like to grow LPS also in there.
 
i'd go ahead and use them for a few months and then replace with ati bulbs. two blue plus and two aquablue special
 
there is a T5 thread on here somewhere and a guy that has tried almost every combo you can think of. Look for it.
 
If you do a Google search for Grim Reefer T5 bulb combination and click on the first link (the one that start with http://home., it will take you right to Grim's personal page. I'd give you the link, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or not.

He's got a lot of info on there about different bulbs and how to combine them for the look you're wanting. It's a really nice site with a ton of info on T5s.
