im getting 2 ati blue plus on a trade what should my other 2 be some kinda purple maybe and a daylight does giesman make a purple

Charlie, ATI makes a purple but if its just for a frag tank I wouldn't spend the money. The GE daylight bulb will give you good growth. The purples and blues are more for asthetics than growth.

I would not use that 'MH' it will have low par IMO for sps
I had a 175 Mh on my 30 gal frag tank and par was only like 80-100 with a new bulb

Luv the pop the blue plus bulbs give Charlie. Runnin 3 blue plus and a purple plus on the frag tanks . Luv the color and growth. Still using 3 vho actinic plus on another tank. Still think the vho's are the best as far as the frags settling in and growing.
