I don't want too much blue----does anyone run both of the above, and are they happy with it?

Do you have just the Radiums running now, and want more blue? Or, are you just thinking about it? I run Radiums on my sps and am very satisfied with the look. IMO

I am just curious---I bought a fixture with t5 supplementation, and I don't want to waste money on a radium bulb and actinics and find that I dont need the actinics. If that were going to be the case, I would go for a lower K bulb and add the actinics to get the same look as a radium alone, if I am making myself clear.

Thanks

I run 2x400w XM 20k with 2x UVL SA VHO and I love it. My corals get great color and growth, the same growth that I got with 3x250 XM 10k and 4x110w VHO, maybe even more growth.
