    So, I got a good deal on a 72" Maristar 3x250MH 4x39T5HO fixture. Im convinced that the phoenix 14k is the best bang MH bulb. What about my T5s. I got four T5s that i can work with. ultimately, I would like this deep blue.

    thanks to dingo and 2in10, I see that I need one fiji purple, ati blue +, and actinics. how many of each and what order? If you have pics of your setup with lighting, can you provide specs of the bulbs so I can get a better idea.

    Go with 2 Fijis, one on each side and 2 Blue Plus or Actinics. Go Blue Plus if you want more PAR.
