Bulbs for blue glow

[ccantlin]

I am picking up two more two bulb t5 fixtures tomorrow and am wondering a few things.
1. What bulbs will give my corals the best color pop?
2. Best bulbs for growth?
3. How many of each. There will be 6 slots total.
I have gsp, mushrooms, Kenya tree, and a carpet anemone.

Here's a list that gives combos for different color temperatures for the leading brands.

So on that chart what would I be looking for color wise? I am looking for the blue that make greens oranges and other colors pop like there is a black light on them

You probably want a 20k look then, as that's on the blue end of the spectrum

And that will make my corals pop?

And help them grow nicely

Any of them will work for growth, but the 20k look will definitely make them "pop" more

I would us the ATI lineup, but I would skip the 10k and put another aquablue special in it's place.
