Need some advice on supplemental lighting

[rrr757]

Hello everyone, I have my tank up and running. I have 2 AI SOL whites. Its a 10K look but looking to add some supplemental lights.

Option is to add more LED's
Thinking Royal Blues and not sure what other colors (red/green/neutral white) - a 12-20 led system from rapid or aquastyle

Option 2 add t5 or t5 ho - attaching picture of the canopy I think I can fit 2 tubes on each side of the ai sols - have no idea on which bulbs I want to get something to help growth and get a bluer color that helps pop the colors a bit

I do not want to spend an arm and leg, was thinking about getting a used system and taking the wires out and retrofitting t5 or t5ho - prefer ho bulbs if I can do it

Thank you for your help

If you're going to do t5 I don't know if you can fit a decent reflector with only 2 inch of width. Most people use let reflectors for retrofits and theyre 2.5 inches wide.
