I´m preparing a new aquarium for soft corals and zoanthids with a 19gal tank aprox (16inch high) and a 4x24 T5 lamp.
The question is which tubes will be better for a good relation colour/growth.

I think that a good combination could be:
-6500 to 10000k
-12000 to 18000k
-22000k
-actinic

What do you think? suggestions?

Thanks!!:rollface:

I´m thinking in a new combination with ATI tubes...

2x aquablue special
1x blue plus
1x actinic

I will try this surely...

for ordering the lights, is it best to put the blue/actinic lights on the outsides, and the brighter lights on the inside? What order works best?
