For a nice 14,000K look use a 1:1 ratio of aquablues to blue+. Links:

I would suggest

1 11000K Aquablue Plus
1 Actinic/Blue Plus

this combo will give you a nice blue color and will fluoresce your corals better.

Also these are some good places to get bulbs at.

I'm not sure what shipping to Puerto Rico will cost you though

Thanks for the replys, I will go with the aquablue and blue plus combination.

The fixture is Odyssea, I know the bulbs and reflector are crap but Im keeping with thems a condy for over 8 months and a few low light corals, so if I change the bulbs for quality ones and add individual reflectors, I can keep some hiqh light corals or a clam.

Thanks, Pablo

Do you have the T5HO or standard T5 fixture from Odyssea? Measure your bulbs before you order new and make sure they are the industry standard. Some people have had issues.

It is t5ho.

If I add individual reflectors and quality bulbs to the Odyssea fixture, then I could keep some high light corals and inverts?
