Hey guys. I am going to pick up a 210 that currently has 3 250w 14k metal halides with no VHO's. I want to add 2 6ft VHO's. Would you go with Actinic or 50/50 with the current MH's?

Actinic. 50/50 does nothimg to add color. Only use 50/50 if you are going to run VHOs more hours than MH.

how about adding some 5 ft T5's with the aquablue or blue plus bulbs. I have 2 DE 250 14k bulbs on my tank and i just purchased a set of T5's. I'll let you know when i get them and install them what it looks like. From what I understand you will get more light and less heat with the T5's then the VHO.
