t5 bulb combo for 14k look

[Andyv2004]

Hi guys, I have a question about t5 lighting. I would like to get a 14k look for my aquarium. I have a current extreme pro 6 bulb fixture. The bulbs are giesemann and in the following order, pure actinic, aque blue +, 6000k, aqua blue+, actinic+, pure actinic. It's to white for my liking. I want a more blueish look to it. At the current time I am running just 2 lights that gives me a very blue look. I have a 90 gallon FOWLR at the moment, but looking foward to keeping corals soon. It will be my first time taking care of corals and i want to make sure i can support them in my system. Also how can you tell if the bulbs need to be repalced? I bought this fixture used and the gentleman said the bulbs were 6 months old.

I would change all the bulbs you can get 4 kz superblues and 1 Kz new gen and 1 Kz coral light that will give you that 14k look and good par to

Batt is pretty much the same as I had. 4 ATI blue plus (or 4 kz superblues), 1 kz new generation, and I had an ATI purple plus.

Id start with swapping out the 6500k for either a blue plus or aquablue special, or geisenmanss equivalent. Why buy 6 bulbs when you prob only need 1 or 2? Geisenmann is a great company not like theyre current bulbs.
