Hey guys I have an 8 bulb tek light that I bought used and the guy told me the bulbs were pretty new but I'm thinking about switching them all out just to be sure. I don't know much about t5s and I would like to get some opinions. From what I can tell there's 1 white bulb 2 uv bulbs 1 red bulb and the rest are blue. Could you guys explain what each one does and what I would need? I could have 4 turn one at a time and I don't really like the white light look, I like the tank to look blue and colors to pop! Your thoughts please!
 
Forgot to add... It'll be a mixed reef for the most part, I wanna try and do some sps. I heard I have enough light so ill try it out
