Default Looking for t-5 pics

Hey guys,

Im gonna be getting my 8 bulb tek t-5 light in a few more days(need another pay day, ), and was woundering what bulbs to buy. Does anyone have full tank shot of the t-5's in action?? I was thinking of putting 4 actinic bulbs, 3 11k, and one 6700k. Does that sound good? I dont want it to be to blue, but I dont want it to look yellow or green!! Almost like a 14k, I love that color . Let me know what you think, and post some pics if you have them,

Michael

if im not mistaken, theres to colors of atnic.
Im still learning how the diferent colors look, but i bought my t5 fixture with the bulb arrangement i have as of now. In my opinion, its perfect for me. But im not to wise on t5's. Check out my 125 pic in my profile for how my bulb fixture looks like. Also you can call tek lighting and ask them for their opinion, and then relate the info they tell you with the info you researched. JMHO
