what light combo?

[kimmi.kim]

Hi All,
I currently have a Oceanlight 36" 4x39W T5 (2 white, 2 blue) by AquaMedic. I've only had this fixture for about 5 months and seems like i need to change my bulbs already because i have been having a decrease in coraline algae and lots of green algae growing.

My questions are, can i use any brand of bulbs for this fixture? what's a good brand of bulbs? and what combination of bulbs will be good?

Thanks!

Anyone please? i'm thinking of buying my new lights today and any feedback would be appreciated!

After only 5 months, I would say that there are other reasons for what you are seeing.

What are your Cal, Alk, and Mag levels? (( for the coralline ))

For the green algae, what are your phosphate levels? Do you use RO/DI water? What is all in your tank, and what does your filtration consist of?
