    Thank you I would be very greatfull. I grow my coral with my 15k MH. The T5 retrofit is a cooling period for fish and tank mornings and evenings.
    I have 4 T5 54 watt retrofit. I have 1 blue. I have 2 white and 1 open. I would like your best T5 54 watt blue actintic. I need 3 blue.
    I can trade my 2 white T5 54watt. This way you get some extra bulbs and 1 is fairly new. I have tuesday off. Ill pm my number for tuesday.

    Thanks SinisterLou for the blue bulbs. They look great. Coral are leaning towards the T5s. I can really see the nice color on these corals.

    Hey hows it going? I havent tried the 420nm yet. Right now Im just enjoying the coral in the blue T5s.
    My 180RR tank is hands free maintenance. I really enjoy the choices Ive made with this setup.
    Those whites I traded you will grow coral. I need to add some more end caps I have in the garage.
    Im just to lazy with this 180RR tank. lol Ill change out and look at the 420nm tomorrow and Ill pm you.
    Thanks. I am very greatful for the blue bulbs.
