    I think maybe I should have got more blue in the tank :D This is just with 4 T5's on.
    I got on it Actinic White, Purple, Aqua Sun? and Superchrome Actinic?

    Thanks! How long has your tank been set up? Give it time, it will come around. I got lucky with mine, I set it up in very cloudy and dusty water, came out real nice with overhangs and caves.

    How old are the bulbs? May be time to invest in a new set (ATI Blue plus);). What's the word on those ballasts?

    Yeap! Just the one, seems to be plenty of light for the tank with the added help of the T5's
