I currently have an AI Prime over my 20 gallon nuvo fusion. I have some shadowing in the tank and I want to fix that with a t5 set up. I am currently eyeballing two single T5HO nanoblaster fixtures.(you can get them for 35 bucks a fixture on amazon) I will have a fixture in front of my AI prime and one behind. Can anyone suggest a way to mount this altogether and what would be the best bulbs to put into the fixtures. (color,brand,kelvin)
Any opinion would be much appreciated. thanks

to mount it all together look into making a frame out of the 80/20 quick frame. for bulbs, ati is my choice, but what bulb to use depends on the overall color you want. I use 2 blue plus on my hybrid, but its for looks as the majority of my power comes from my leds

You can pick you aluminum tubing at Lowe's. I made my light rack to hold 2- 2 bulb retrofit fixtures and 3- kessils 360. Fairly easy to do.
