What T5 to add to DIY LED

[ghellin]

I have been running DIY crees since the start of this tank, I am going to add two t5s to my fixture to see what affect it will have on sps color. My signature below has the specifics on my LEDs. What two t5 bulbs would give the best opportunity for deeper color in my sps? Looking for those who have t5 led combo tanks and have experience with the color impacts. Thanks in advance.

What are your UVs? 400nm, 420?

I'd look up the specs on all your diodes, and see where you're lacking light. I think for most LED systems, the mid violet and low blue range (415ish to 440ish) is a weak spot. Cyan as well.

420 on the uv/v.

Have had others say the same thanks! Do you have a picture of your tank that shows true color?

Tried coral+ and blue+.. did not like results. Went to a blue+ and purple+. Much better. I think next I will try the Geissman lagoon blue and aqua blue as they have more of the 590 spectrum most leds can't do

I have 2 Coral + and 2 Blue + with my DIY LEDs as well. I really like the RB and TV LEDs with the T5s on, my personal favorite. There is a link to my build in my sig.......
