Hello everyone, I have my tank up and running. I have 2 AI SOL whites (2white and 1 blue per puck). Its a 10K look but looking to add some supplemental lights.

Option is to add more LED's
Thinking Royal Blues and not sure what other colors (red/green/neutral white) - a 12-20 led system from rapid or aquastyle. Was trying to find something used

Option 2 add t5 or t5 ho - attaching picture of the canopy I think I can fit 2 tubes on each side of the ai sols - have no idea on which bulbs I want to get something to help growth and get a bluer color that helps pop the colors a bit

Trying to save money - saw some used t5 ho but they are not retrofit, can I take them out and retrofit them myself off a used system?

I do not want to spend an arm and leg since I just got up and running ;) Attached is picture of my canopy, I should have built it wider.

Thank you for your help

Sure you could. Inside the fixture is just the ballast and wiring. I open fixtures all the time to clean and replace fans.
