    Default Quick question about my new t5 setup...

    I just recieved my new t5 setup today i upgraded from two bulbs to four. And when i opened the box it was setup with two 10000k in the front and two actinic in the back. Should i move them around to put one 10k then one actinic then one 10k then one actinic? I didnt know how to word it sorry.

    Awesome. I figured it would benefit more if everything was even. Thanks.

    Depending on the bulbs.... You would be happy replacing them to ATI bulbs. I running 3 blue+, and one aquablue special.... Gives me about a 14k look. Alot of ppl will toss in a purple plus...

    I configured them like this:

    Front:
    Blue
    blue
    white
    blue

    I have a good link about t5s and configurations, I will see if I get on the computer later to post them...

    Yes, the 10k will be your daylight bulb..... I am using the aqua blue as my daylight, it's more of a 15k for a little bluer look....
