Ok, I'm going to purchase the following "Sunlight Supply 36" Ready Fit T5 Retrofit Fixtures 2-Bulb, 2 x 39W":

http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/store_pages/details/l-fl-retro2.php?product_ID=sl-t5rf3602

in the following days to supplement my two metal halides.

Currently, I have 2 Giesemann Nova II 150w each with 13k bulbs MegaChrome HQI DE.

I will be purchasing 2 T5 Retrofit fixtures to go with the metal halides, so I need to choose 4 T5 39W bulbs.

Anyone have any suggestions on the bulbs, I was thinking of going with the following:

1- Giesemann Powerchrome T5 AquaBlue+
2- Giesemann Powerchrome Actinic+

150w MH HQI 13K - 150w MH HQI 13K

3- Giesemann Powerchrome Actinic+
4- Giesemann Powerchrome T5 AquaBlue+

Over my tank, to give the tank a nice blueish look, but not too blue.

Any suggestions ?
