T5/MH Light Question

[collie man]

I currently have the cadlights MH/T5 combo. current set up:

20K MH & 2 Blue+

Im hoping to get a little more color by swapping the blue+ for either ATI purple+ or ATI true actinics. Any comments will be helpful. pictures of similar combos would also be very generous.

Thank you, Jeremy

I added one 454 blue and one 420 super actinic. Best of both worlds. But I may switch to two 420 super actinics. I hope this helps.

I started off by running a single halide w/2 t5s I did fiji purple in the back behind the light, and blue+ up front. (Later I added 4 more t5s)

I was thinking about adding two more T5's to my current set up. If Im going to do that I might as well just go all T5's.

MammothReefer- How did you like the Blue and purple. Im hesitant doing two different bulb colors because I do not want my tank two shades.

The bulbs will blend together, you won't notice The difference.

Ya put the purple in the back so it will blend, I wouldn't put it in the front.
