T5 Red Sea vs Hagen Power Glo

[buttered loins]

Hi Guys

Been awhile, but I recently purchased a Red Sea Max 250 tank which has 6x39W T5 lights. Was wondering whether i should get the three different red sea lights (Pink, White Blue)
or just the Hagen Power glo & Blue. Hagen Power glo's have 18,000K while the red sea white are only 10,000K.

Cheers

I would stick with the Red Sea. If this is going to be a reef, I encourage you to get ATI bulbs. With 6 bulbs, I would go with 4 Blue+, 1 Coral+ and an 1 Actinic. If you don't need a ton of PAR, you may want to swap out one Blue+ for another Actinic. Geisemann and Korallen-Zucht also make quality T5 bulbs.

The Blue+ covers a wider spectrum then plain actinics, can bring out colors better in some corals, when I first did t5's I ran cheap 10000k and actinics, upgrading later to ATI and guissman's was worth it, sps, zoa's, and some lps look much nicer/grow better under them.
