t5 bulbs, alone or in conjuction with LED

[davidgnome]

SO i have had poor colors as of late with my t'5s..thinking im too much on the red spectrum and its changing colors of corals..so let me know what works for you guys?

TEk elite 6 bulb all ati bulbs..
front
Blue+ love
Blue+
Aquablue special..not so much love..possibly 2 of these are hurting my tank?
Purple+..seems good
Aquablue special..like i said maybe 2 of them is too much.? and causing coral colors to change
Actinic..not sure either..

I also run two reefbrite leds..one of which is all blue, other is 50/50 which im not a fan of the white leds they may also be causing my issues..since they are yellow..and etc..

was suggested to me that i do 4 blue+ purple+ and a ge 6500k. what yall think??my zoas are losing brightness pretty quick..seem healthy but just not as colorful as when i put them in tank..thanks!

What size is your tank? How long are the lights on? A 6 bulb fixture puts out a lot of light. Here's a link to Grimm Reefers website. It's a good read and may help you with your t5 bulb selection.
