T5 lighting for Crocea Question

[OracleOCA]

I do not have the clam yet; I am just collecting info on lighting I've read the stickys regarding the requirements of these clams but I still need clarification. I have a 36" T5 (6 bulb config by Sunlight Supply) and before I order the bulbs, I want to know what types to purchase. I was planning to buy 3 actinics and 3 aquablues. Might this be too blue where I should add a daylight (10k)? What are your T5 configuration reccomendations for these croceas?

Thanks
Janie

you should have some 10k and 6500k in there and not so much blue.

Aquasun is in the 6500k Range, good bulb for growing. I would also Reccomment a Super Actinic.

I have the same light fixture with 2 croceas under it.

Im using 2 aquablue, 2 actinic +, 1 pure actinic, and 1 mid day.

I had a nova extreme t-5 fixture over my 20 high when it was a reef tank with 4 clams and they all did amazing.
