That was my original thought....the big question is which type of led bar will fit into this missionIf you want more pop all of the time, run the LED bars all day. Then run halides part of the day and T5 part of the day.

I would go with reef brite xho, you can’t beat the spread and it’s strong enough to see with the halides on.That was my original thought....the big question is which type of led bar will fit into this mission
Thanks for the adviceIf you want more pop, then the blue plus will fit the bill. It has more violet in the mix, so that'll make things "pop" a little more.
How long are you running the halides for? Just curious.
Sorry, should've clarified, how many hours a day?Thanks for the advice
I started running them 1 month ago
MH running 5 hours per day.Sorry, should've clarified, how many hours a day?
Just curious how long you were running them, nothing more. I run mine for 6hrs a day and supplement with LED bars. When running halides with supplemental lighting, the average on time is usually 4-6hrs, but this varies from tank to tank.MH running 5 hours per day.
T5 running 10 hours per day.
why do you asking that ?
I'm curious
Right now there is lot of light above my tank ,you right at that.Nice looking tank. Clean setup.
You've got a lot of light over that system with the MH/T5 alone. I know XHO cuts through MH pretty well. I saw minus9's tank with the 250w and Quanta Meso blues and they cut through more than the xhos when I ran the same fixture. They blended very well with the 14k hamiltons too.
I'd put my money on the Quanta bars; either OG pop or Meso Blues for cutting through best in your system. I have the Quanta OG Pop and when I turn them on with my 10x54w t5 powermodule the color noticeably changes with more blue/pop. I run my spectrum around 14k to mimic my previous hamilton mh.
I'm not sure if they are available to your location or not. Also they do add PAR so you're going to want to ease into it. I don't currently run mine during my t5 schedule. I felt like I was over lighting the tank.
I love Kessil, but feel for the money, Orphek blue plus will give you what you need in regards to pop.The Quanta led bars are not available in my country.
the options that I do have are:
reef brite
orphek
kessil
