Hey everyone, Ok, so I'm trying to get some opinions! I have the Nova extreme by current USA, it has two bulbs! one 460nm T5 antinc, and one 10,000k T5 bulb.. I really want alittle bit more of a blue color without making it completely blue. ya know.. I still want that clearish color too it.. but not make it look like its with Actinics only.. HELP! what can I do? does my Actinic bulb need to be bringer than my 10k one..

what do you guys think?

I don't know if you can get the 18w bulbs in different colors, can you? I have the same fixture, and it's almost too blue for my tastes.

I have the 18" T5 unit on a 18"cube, 3 of them. I am running 5 actinic and 1 white. Looks good and the coral are happy. R
