I am getting ready to order new T5 bulbs. I currently have 4 54 w 10000k daylights, and 4 54 w actinics. They are in a Nova Extreme and a Marineland T5 deluxe. My tank is 90 g and a 20 g sump. Should I use the same bulbs or should I mix it up a little. 10000k or 12000k. Blue vs white.

The current brand bulbs are not very good. I am not sure what bubls are in the Marineland fixture, but if you look at ATI, Geisman and UVL buls you should be able to find a good combination for color and growth.

I know a lot of people use a 50/50 mix of ATI blue+ and ATI aquablues. Would probably be a good place to start. I am not an expert on T5 bulbs though, so maybe someone else would have some other opinions on what would work well for you. They will probably need to know what look you are trying to achieve though.
