[loudog42362]

I have acquired a light with 8 t5 bulbs in it I just have gotten it any ideas on what would be a good mix for a 90 gal with a few fish and I'm just startin to get some corals

We need a little more details than that. Brand, age of bulbs, watts, etc...

are you wanting to know what bulbs to buy for it or what corals to keep with the bulbs you have?

 

[loudog42362]

its a current what kind of reliability do they have

I think they're fine reliability-wise. Haven't experimented much with bulb brands, but in my 6 bulb fixture I really liked 2 white, 3 actinic and one pink colored bulb... I think it was called an Aqua Sun maybe?

I started up a 90 about 9 months ago and started with a mag. fox face and so xenia and zoas

Current equipment is good, bulbs, not so much, KZ bulbs and ATI are both top notch as well as giesmann bulbs

If you go to Reef Central, go under the lighting and equipment category. There is a lighting guru called GrimReefer and he's been helping with t5 bulb selections for color and high par for a couple years now. I use ATI Blue Plus, UVL Actinics, GE 6000K, and ATI Aquablue special.
