Hey fellas, I'm going to buy a T5 fixture that will utilize my 2 Hydra 26 LED pendants. I've never used T5s so I need some advice on what T5 bulbs to us in the fixture below. I'm guessing I'll use two white bulbs and two actinic, not sure.
Heat is something to consider. I run the two Hydra 26 pendants along with a HQI 250 watt pendant. I'm able to control the heat without using a chiller and running the MH 3-4 hrs a day.

This will be for a SPS tank with a few LPS..

What do you guys think for 4x54 watt bulbs..

I run 2 blue plus, a purple plus and a UV. With 4 ai primes in the aquatic life hybrid fixture. I run a mixed tank - it works for me.
