T5 Bulb replacement

[fastrd400]

It is time for me to replace my T5 bulbs. I added a pair of 250 watt MH pendants, and worked my old T5 fixture into the canopy. I am currently running Phoenix 14K bulbs in the Mh, and am thinking I should replace all 4 T5 bulbs with Actinics. My question is should I replace them with all the same color and spectrum, or mix the them up adding maybe a purple or 2, ar maybe differnt color blues?

I just replaced all my bulbs from reefgeek.com. I got a mix of aqua blue plus and fiji purple bulbs. It really made the colors in my tank pop! I'd call them and tell them what your'e trying to achieve and they'll set you up with the right bulbs. They're great people there, very knowledgeable and wont BS you into buying stuff you don't want or need. They also package the bulbs very well.

Personally,I would go all ATI blue+ since you have MH already.True actinics really don't do anything.I also buy from Reef Geek,well packaged and good knowledgeable people.
