T5 lighting replacing bulbs

[MrDaniel]

It's good to get extras to play around with. I suggest marking the tubes with a sharpie with the date they were installed. I built a nice collection of T5's and overtime forgot which were new and which had been used for 3 months, 6 months etc.

Thanks for this!

I have a 6 bulb fixture, I use ATI bulbs. Currently I have 3 blue plus, 2 coral plus and 1 aquablue plus. I may switch one blue plus to purple plus to try to bring out more of the pink and red tones.

After doing some more reading and looking at my tank with all the lights on, I think I'm going to switch the aquablue + for a purple + instead. My corals look kind of washed out with all six bulbs running (I only get to see that on weekends lol)
