hello,

just getting back into the hobby after a 10 year break.

i picked up a used 20G long. i currently have a t5/led combo.

1-21inch wave point reef wave
1-21 inch wave point sun wave

1 ecoxotic 12 inch white
1 ecoxotic 12 inch white/blue
1 ecoxotic 12 inch blue
considering adding 1 ecoxotic white/magenta for more color. thoughts on this?

i am going to change the t-5 bulbs as im not sure how old they are. can anyone recommend what bulbs to go with? im looking on reefgeek but need help choosing bulbs. i also need to purchase reflectors for the t5's as the previous owner had them mounted to the canopy with no reflectors.
i would like to purchase the bulbs/reflectors from the same company to avoid paying shipping for 2 orders.

i plan to keep mushrooms,zoas,millis,leathers,palys.

here is a picture of the set up as it is now. i have a bunch of frags on the way and want to be sure i have adequate lighting.

well hopefully i made the right choice. i went with 1 ati 24w blue plus and 1 ati 24w coral plus with miro-4 t5 reflectors. i will also be adding magenta/white led for some more color.

opinions???
