T5 Users...its time to replace my bulbs...

[SPotter]

So its that time again and I need to order new bulbs for my tank. I have a 4 bulb icecap reefilluminations fixture and I'd like to hear what bulbs and combination everyone likes.

My tank is a mixed reef but sps are beginning to be the dominant coral in the tank.

I have been looking at ATI, Geisemann, and UVL bulbs. My tank is 20" deep so one of things I am trying to decide on is how many daylight bulbs do I go with.

This is what I am thinking about right now....
(1) Geisemann Midday
(1) ATI purple plus
(1) UVL 75/25 14k
(1) ATI True actinic 03

Thanks for looking and sharing your preferences!

1 kz new gen
1 ati purple plus

or

3 ati blue plus
1 ati purple plus
