    I got my Nova Extreme T5 6bulb 36" fixture.

    My only issue is that it seems a little bit too blue. Its 3 regular and 3 blue lights. Maybe when one of the blue bulbs go out Ill replace it with a regular?

    You could do that or add a UVL actinic white to pop your reds and pinks. A GE6500K will pop your greens and yellows.

    BTW great tank and shots.

    Thanks, been reading up on this since I decided to go T5. Lots of info available, enough to make your head spin off of your shoulders.

    Thanks guys. I guess its ok for now. When I get some extra cash Ill replace 2 bulbs. It was worth 288 though. Hopefully my corals start growing faster. Do I need to feed them phytoplankton as 4 times a week as I did with my old light?
