my t-5ho mix

[blowinsmoke]

I have a 270 with 2 250mh 20000 and 2 400mh not sure the k on the 400's, but the corals love them and are growing like crazy. The problem I have is that the color is off (too yellow). I would like to add t5's or something that would "blue up" the color. Any thoughts on the best way to get a bluer color would be great.

The UVL superactinic and ATI blue plus are pretty good "bluer" bulbs.

are those t5 or my. My gold is to keep the same my bulbs because I am getting good growth with them, and just suplament with anouther type of bulb to "cover up" the yellow color. I know it would prob be cheaper to change to 20000k my but I want to try to keep the corals growing at the rate they are now.

Yes, the bulbs I mentioned are T5ho that you can use for supplimental color. Look into the Icecap or TEK retrofits.
