SRC Member ervine Posted January 26, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi guys, I accidentally bought the wrong temperature MH bulb. I'm was running 1 x 250W 20k BLV SE with 2 x 2ft 10k T5s. But then I went out and bought a 10k BLV bulb by accident (sudden lapse of memory) and now my tank is horribly yellow. Is it possible to balance off the yellow by swapping my 2 T5s with blue tubes instead? Or is 2 x T5s still not going to make the cut? My tank is a 2.5ftx1.5ftx2ft Thanks!

SRC Member riot Posted January 26, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Ervine- I tried that before but the 2Xblue did not fully take out the yellow tinge. You will need more double? triple? X blue tubes to balance out to attain a crisp white. But at least you can expect good growth. See if it grows on ya.
