New Bulbs on the way.. What 2 expect?

[eyebedam]

So I finally got around to ordering me some new T5- bulbs & lets just say it was time to replace them. I have a current outer orbit with 3x250 MH &
8x39 T5s. Ive replaced my MH 3 or 4 diff times but honestly never thought about replacing my T5 bulbs untill about a month ado & 1 began to flicker. I just replaced my MH with Phoenix 14ks about a month back.

Im still running my Current bulbs that came with the unit which are 4-420 current bulbs & 4-current 460 bulbs & lets just say they are not near as bright as they once were. I just ordered 6 ATI Blue Plus & 2 KZ fiji Purple. I know Im gonna have to acclimate my corals to the new bulbs, but what should I expect from the new color choice?

Expect It to be much brighter and a very pleasing blue tone to It, Kinda like the Phoenix just much brighterover all and the Fiji will bring out the reds ,oranges, pinks real nice.

I would agree that I would expect those combos to look great! Phoenix 14k's are my favorite MH bulb and the ATI Blue Plus are my favorite T5s.

I would expect the Blue Plus bulbs to be a bit bluer than the Phoenix 14ks.

Im looking forward to them. They are scheduled to be delivered today. I took a couple Iphone pics last night with just the old stock T5s on & when I get the new bulbs in Il take new pics with just those on for a referance.
