I've replace a couple of my T5's with bulbs from UV lighting. What a difference in the color of the tank. My current config is
Back of Tank
- 1 Current Blue-Plus
- 2 Giesemann Aquablue (11K)
- 3 UV Lighting Atinic White (12K)
- 4 UV Lighting Super Atinic (420nm)
Front of tank

Have the bulbs on timers
Bulbs (2/4) Aquablue / Super Atinic (12 hrs)
Bulbs (1/3) Blue Plus / Atinic White (8 hrs)

Any suggestions on order of the blubs or time?
