Light question

[vinnyd87]

I currently have a t5 fixture that holds 6 bulbs. I am currently running 1 Violet, 1 coral plus, and 4 actinic blues. Is this safe for the corals and will they grow under these conditions or should I change them. Thank you

I'm not up on t5 bulb spectrum, but it's more blue than anything white, so your corals aren't in any short term trouble. Whether the all blue spectrum is good for coral long term is questionable. I'd suggest it's OK but probably not optimal, others may/will disagree.

What brand of bulbs? ATI? Here are the bulb recommendations from their website http://www.atinorthamerica.com/faq.php

That would be way too blue for me but your coral will be fine. I would think about swapping one of the blue's for another coral+ or a purple+ to let non fluorescent color shine as well. (Just IMO)

These are currently the lights I have setup. I'm not too sure if the brand name of the other ones but I do have the ati's
