T5 bulbs

[iap]

hi... ive got a T5 fixture, 4 x 54w. i dont have a clue how old the bulbs are, im sure they are beyond old. well today 1 of the 4 bulbs went out so im gonna go ahead and buy all new bulbs. the bulbs that are in it now are 2 whites, 1 purple and 1 blue. what will be a good combo for me to go with? id like a 20k look, im used to radiums on my other tank. thanks

Stick with the combo, go with ATI bulbs.

Ok..what's the best place to get bulbs? I always get my radiums from reefgeek

Bulk reef has them, hello lights, a few other places.

i just got 2 blue+ 1 aqua blue + and a purple + for my 4 bulb
I ordered them from hellolights on Saturday they arrived Tuesday. i had free shipping because of fathersday code. was onder 100.00 like about 85.00.

by the way that was the suggested combo by the internet guy that Tom posed when i ask about bulbs
i put the aqua blue where the white was and the blue + in the blue bulbs spot waiting till next week as suggested by all to put the others in.

If you're going for the 20k look I would do 2 x geissman actinic plus or aquatic life actinic, 1 x geissman 12k, and 1 x aquatic life purple/pink. Dennis at ae has the pink bulb. Just ask him.
