The Grim Reefer
Ready for some NOBALL!!!
Hello It's nice to finally meet the T-5 GOD! Anyways I just bought a Hamilton Fiji sun fixture. 6 bulbs were included 4- 420 nm blue 1- daylight and a 50/50. As well I have a wavepoint antinicand 50/50. All these bulbs and are brand new so I would like to use them. My tank is 36x16x18. Positions 1,6 2,5 3,4 turn on and off together. So here's the questions.
1. How would you use the bulbs I have.
2. If I bought one bulb now what should it be.
3. What should I eventually put in there?
4. And will there be a noticeable difference in colors with better bulbs?
Thanks for your help!
Use the Daylight and 2 50/50 lamps you have with 3 actinics. I'd at a minimum grab a blue Plus ATI lamp so you are only running 2 actinics. Once these lamps are 6 months old I'd switch to 3 or 4 ATI Blue Plus, 1 ATI Purple Plus and depending on the number of blue plus 1 or 2 ATI Aquablues.
