Hello,

I am about to buy two 250W DE Iwasaki 14k MH bulbs. I will be running them using a PFO HQI ballast. I would like to supplement these MH with some T5's.

I am using four 24W T5's running on a Tek ballast. Which combo of T5 bulbs would give the best supplementation to the Iwasaki 14K? I am at a loss because there are so many different T5's. Which specific bulbs would you recomend?

I am running a 30" deep tank and want something that will make my corals "pop" when on and not get washed out by the halides.

Any advice?

You can try 4 x 24w Super Actinic to give you bluelish tint. But be aware that if your MH is off, your tank will be very blue. I am using 2 x 39w Super Actinic to supplement my 2 x 250w XM 10000K.

What about Blue+? Would those look nice?
