Bulb combination?-Help!

[bigloggerhead]

I'm currently running a 250 DE metal halide/4 39 watt T5 HO combo. The bulbs I recieved with the fixture are crap so I'm looking to upgrade. I'm currently keeping SPS, LPS, Zoos, softies, ricordia, clam, etc. I'm concerned about color loss in my SPS so I'm looking for the perfect bulb combination to give me better than average growth and beautiful colors. Color is a higher priority. I have already ordered one bulb. Its a URI Super Actinic T5 HO. I figured to go with either 3 ATI Blue + or Geisemann Actinic +. i think those actinics will give me the vibrant colors I want in my SPS. I'm completely stumped on my choice of halide bulb though. I've read so many threads on bulb choice that my head hurts and I still can't make an educated decision. I want a nice crisp white color, nothing too blue. Help please!

Anyone?

I'd suggest asking in the T5 Q&A thread.

You mean to tell me that there is not one person on this forum than can help me! :confused:

I thought for sure at least a couple of people here may have a viable suggestion. :D

I'm running Geisemann Pure Actinic with my 250 DE 14K Phoenix, it is kind more on the blue side. I will swap to 10K AB when time to change the Phoenix, it will be better on coral growth and crisp white in color.
