Coralife t5 lighting

[Ant329]

Im looking for the best color combination in my 2 bulb fixture.. I have a colormax, 6700k, 10000k, and a actinic( blue) bulb.. Which bulbs would you pair up?? Ive tried the diff combinations and i have come up with two i like the best but curious as to what you guys/ gals choose..

Do you have plants? If so then Colormax and 6700K would be fine, or either of those with the 10,000K.

i'm unfamiliar with the technical names....

But for a 2 bulb fixture (2 switches), I like to use a light for day and night.

Day (solar)
Night (actinic blue "moonlight" )

I have plants, some of which prefer higher light, so I run the 6700K and the 10,000K in my Coralife Dual T5.

No plants.. Just looking for the best combo to make fish color pop.. Colormax & ?

Right now im trying the color max and the 10k.. I tried 2 colormax but water looks to pinkish..

6500K and 10,000K.

I'd go for a pair of 6700K's if you're just looking for a clean white that will show up the fish.
