T5 Lamps

[siloxane]

Does anyone have a suggested configuration (types of T5 lamps) that seems to work well? I have a fixture with 4 light sockets and am currently running 4 Giesemann bulbs:

Two 54W Aquablue's
One 54W Pure Actinic
One 54W Mid-Day 6000K

They seem to be working well, though I want to make sure we have an ideal configuration for coral growth.

Happy Holidays!

IMO I would do 2 x 10k and 2 x 03. What type of coral, tank are we talking about.I have a 33L and I have 4 x HO and I run 2 x 15k and 2 x 03 because I like the deeper look.

Sorry, could you please clarify the "03"? I have a 72-gallon bowfront with a blend of softies, SPS and LPS.

Thanks Ade. Someone else I spoke to recommended the same configuration. Have a great day.
