T5 Day Bulbs....

[spw4949]

I have to replace my 2 daylight bulbs in my 6x39W Nova extreme, what k rating should I go with for the best growth? The other bulbs I have in there are 2 ATI blue plus, 1 fiji purple, & 2 actinics.

How about 2 ATI blue specials? For growth I would say 12k but I am not a lighting expert. I just hate getting no response to my questions.

Choices would be ATI aqua blue specials 11 k , UV aquasun's 10k , Giesemann Power chrome aquablue plus 11k , Aqua Science Special 15k. , KZ Coral light 12k .
All bulbs are around the same range for color . I favor the ATI aquablue specials . I would find the best prices on one of the above and go from there . I think Reef Geek doesn't charge the full rate on just two bulbs for shipping . U may just have to get them from ur LFS if shipping is a concern .
I have to order 6 at a pop so I get hit on shipping no matter what . LOL

i'd agree for growth the ATI Aquablues.
