im building a 40g breeder for SPS and softies. I have two 36" Nova Extremes T5HOs that will sit on top... so 8 blubs, 312 watts total
what would you recommend in terms of bulbs. i hear the OEM bulbs from nova are not great so what should i replace them with. what spectrums and manufactures? im told the Geisseman and ATI bulbs are best but i need opinions and specs. and pics of your setups would be helpful as well.
side note: i'd like things to look a little blue, i hate the yellow washed out look.

Maybe this combo in each unit?
ATI blue plus
UVL Aquasun
ATI Actinic 03
ATI Aquablue special or Geisemann aquablue
I think it would give you the blue you want.
