Question T5 Blue+ or VHO Actinics for supplementing XM10Ks
Got a question for you 250w XM 10k users.

I am going to change my bulbs over to XM 10K's, and was wondering what bulbs I should supplement with.

I am thinking Blue+.

VHO hands down for "POP" as a supplemental. I love T5s for PAR effeciency, but they don't come close to a UVL Super Actinic on an IC ballast for fluorescing your capable corals.
