If you could have only one T5 bulb?
I want to supplement my (3) Kessil 360"s with T5's. Last year I tried adding (4) 24" T5's to my canopy and ran them for just a few hours and ended up nuking some corals. I'm thinking about using (2) dimmable single 36" bulbs end to end on my 72" tank. thinking ATI coral plus or Giesman blue coral. Any suggestions on a single bulb?

I would go Coral+
The bulb has a lot of blue in it and a good bit of red to help on that end where your Kessil is weak. |

4 24w t5 are not a lot of light, most are running much higher watts in 6 or 4ft bulbs. But I would lean towards the coral plus for just one since it is 40% blue +, 40% aqua blue & 20% purple plus
