Planning on using 2 ati 24w bulbs to supplement my xr15 pro.

My radion does great for both growth and colour but my main issue is shadowing.

I'm currently running my radion @ ab+ so would like the shadowed areas matching this schedule as close as possible.

So can anyone experienced in this area tell me which 2 of these ati bulbs will be best for the results I'm after?

I just bought 1 T5 ati blue + to supplement my AI Prime... It was recomended by my LFS, but in relation to match your light schedule, I am not sure.

I have LED and also 6 ATI T5 to supplement. I have 5 Blue+ and one purple plus and with the LED it gives me great color. I swapped the coral plus for another Blue + because it was too white for my liking

Thanks for the reply guys.. how do them blues look in your more shaded areas? I'm worried if I got just blues that my tank would be a different colour where my radions whites can't get to?
