T5 bulb replacement question

[dannonlayne]

I have a Nova Extreme lighting unit (model 1124 24" wide) and need to replace the bulbs.

Is there a specific type of lamp that I need or so I just choose one that will fit?

ATI bulbs are the best of the best

My current bulbs (that came with the fixture) are blueish. Is that the best choice for color or are there others?

It depends what color temperature your lookin for. How many bulbs can your fixture have and are you going for the 20000k, 16000k, 14000k look?
There are T5 combo threads in RC and R2R you can research also.

I didn't realize how much went in to "replacing bulbs." But I should've thought of it since EVERYTHING in salt water has so many different options and reasons.

I'm going to go do more research. Thanks a lot!
