T5 bulb selection

[Lydo]

Hey guys. For you people using T5s what type of bulb are you using?

I have 6 bulbs right now. 4 of them are midday bulbs that are around 6000k and 2 true actinics.

I find the light from the midday is a little pink. I'm thinking of putting some 10 or 12k bubls in there. What do you guys think?

I dont have any pics yet, but for the last couple months i've been running 2x 12k and 2 blue+. Definitely on the blue side but thats what i wanted. Ive used the 11k aquablue special....i personally think the 12k's are much better color. i think the 12 is truely white with a little blue, while the 11ks were still slightly yellow tinted.

2 Blue Plus, one Actinic and 1 10k here. Next time I need bulbs I am switching the actinic & 10k out for two aquablues.

I think I'm going to try the geismen 12k bulbs. I already have 2 of the true actinics so...
