    I am new to the lighting of saltwater tanks. I have just been doing FOWLR tanks for a while and I am slowly learning about lighting for corals and such. Now I know this fixture takes 2 T5 HO bulbs, but which should I get? I need one white and one blue right? Right now all I have is a hegan T8 fixture with a 50/50 bulb for my star polyps and zoas but the zoas look like they need more. My stars are flourishing though! I didn't expect them to. Just would love some info on which bulbs to use in the new fixture I'm getting tomorrow. Thanks.

    Geissmen and ATI bulbs are IMO the best T5's out there
