if you not happy with the coloration need to do different combo! do not use too meany white bulbs!!! those are more for fish only or fresh water go more blue plus which also have higher par then white bulbs good luck !!

Thank you!! I have 4 ati blue plus,1 ATI purple fiji,& 1 gieseman pure actinic. I think i might just have to buy 2 MORE pure actinics and 1 more purple fiji for a better spectrum. Just not use to the adjustment of color, but My sps and my zoas are extending there tentacles a lot farther now that i'm using t5s. I'm in love with the growth in my tank now. T5's are definitely the way to go when you have sps. They colored up better as soon as I switched.

You have to stop by and see my tank now. I took out the Blue Special and a Blue Plus and added an actinic and purple plus and the colors in my tank are now amazing. I didnt know what I was missing. All the colors are standing out now.

My 6 bulb (all ATI) combo is - Blue plus & Actinic on one switch (Dusk/Dawn). 2 Blue Plus / 2 Purple Fiji on the other (Daylight).

Vin is right, the Blue Special is too bright and whites out everything. Saw the difference right away.

I'm traveling right now but I will hit you up next week when I get back. I will lend you some bulbs to see what color combination you like.
