LF: Used t5 bulbs/varying color temps?

[Chronicj7]

I'd like to try out a few color temps before I decide on purchasing them new for my 40g breeder. If anybody has some they'd be willing to let me borrow that are used I would really appreciate it.

So far I'm leaning towards 3 blue and 1 purple plus or a pink.

Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has pictures of their tanks with 4x24w, I'd like to see them with a description of the color temps you've chosen. Thanks!

I am running a 6 bulb t5 setup on a 55g tank. I have an aquablue special, 4 blue plus, and 1 purple plus. Seems like a good mixture of color pop and growth. All ati bulbs.

What kind of corals are you growing primarily? I was looking at ATI blue+ x3/ purple +/fiji pink. I will be growing out an sps dominated tank.

That's what I have along with a 150 Phoenix. They run staggered and when it is T5 only, the coloration is intense, but it is IMO too blue/purple for 100% viewing.

I have extra used bulbs. Let me see when I get home (remind me if I don't get back to you..I can be forgetful at times). Looking to possibly get rid a bunch of lighting systems soon and getting a couple Kessils (I have this addition with trying out all sorts of lights. 1 tank up, and 5 or 6 different lights sitting around )

I have an assortment of corals growing in my tank from zoas and mushrooms to montis to brains to an mix of sps corals.
