A while back posted the same post wanting to know what light I could use to enhance my red colors in my coral...Cant find the post.. I'm getting ready to replace my lights in my 48" Current Nova Extreme Pro T5s, want to order 2 Actinic, 1 bulb to enhance colors- cant remember the bulb sugested and 3 12000K...:) Would greatly appreciate the advice....

since you are leaning so heavily towards blue (actinics and 12k) your color enhancing bulb needs to be something that has some red in it like a Fiji Purple, etc.

I've read good things about the ATI purple plus. In fact I ordered on to put on my 180g. I'm using fiji purple right now and they do a good job. Maybe you can get an old fiji bulb from someone to try it out. I would loan you one but my bulbs are 5'.
