well my fixture is a 4 bulb. from what ive been reading most people enjoy a combo of 2 aquablue specials and 2 blue +. would you agree? Im also thinking about throwing a purple in there for color? My tank is only 20 gallons and i house mostly soft corals and a nem and a torch. What do you think a good combo is? I want a blue color but not 100% actinic and also good coral growth. I dont know if im asking for too much but let me know what you think. thanks!
Do not use the aquablue special! It's too white. Unless u like a 10k-12k color in ur tank
I like the 15k-20k look. Id go with this
ATI blue+
ATI coral +
Korallen Zucht Fiji Purple
ATI Blue +.
That would be a nice color combo. If u like the real white look, then switch out the coral+ bulb for an aquablue special

Unless you really like white light I wouldn't put more than one AB Special in there. They are very white.
I used to have:
B+
P+
AB Special
B+
This was too white for my taste in the end. I actually like the color better when I turned off the fixture with the AB Special. The purples actually put out a fair amount of light that "looks white".
When I replaced bulbs this year I went to:
B+
P+
B+
P+
I'm much happier now. It has a bluer look and my greens and reds show up better.
But it all depends on what you like. You're welcome to stop by if you want to see what mine look like. I just replaced them in September so they're still burning strong. Send a PM if you're interested.
