Hey Grim,
Thanks for all your help. Here are the bulbs in the above order for my first reef tank. Everything is doing great. I can even keep croceas!

hi grim
i just bought a 4x24w VHO ice cap retro and a 2x24w HO w/ accustart ballast & ice cap reflectors. is this too much for a 24"x18"x24" tank (45g)? am planning to keep clams,lps, and softies. i also got 4 ati blue plus, ati pro color, and uvl 14k 75/25 is this a good bulb combo? thanks

I may just be tripping here but my tank doesn't seem to have the "life" it had. How long does it take a tank to acclimate to new lights?
When I installed my 36" nova extreme pro I immediately installed new bulbs too.
in a 40g breeder.

I like the look but is this best for growth? Not that I want fast growth either. I'm probably just being impatient.

Maybe too much light.
If thats the case you could pull the aquablue and replace it with a UVL 75/25 and drop some intensiity and pick up a little eextra actinic and red.

Grim:
I have a 5 bulb t5 light, and like it a lot, but I would like to have a slightly warmer light than its putting out now. My bulbs are: two of the Geissman Actinic Plus, one Aquablue, one UV 75/25, and a UV superactinic. Any suggestions on what new bulbs I should try to get a yellower spectrum, and which ones I should take out for the new bulbs? Any help would be VERY appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Grim,
I saw fijiblue's setup in one of the older T5 threads. I love the blue color. I just set up a 65 gal and got a 4 bulb nova fixture for it. I have a couple sps and some lps. Can you give me a good 4 bulb setup that will give good growth but a nice blue color?
Thanks alot,
Joe
