T5 fixture bulbs

[haiyzues]

Currently I used 6 bulbs, 4 ATI blue plus, 1 purple plus and 1 aqua blue special on my 75. Could I switch out the aqua blue special for another blue plus? My tank looks too white... My tank is lps dominated, no sps. Is this possible? Thanks for your time

how about a pure actinic, it will make the lps pop a bit more

Instead of an aqua blue?

Switch it out for a new Coral+

Is that the same as a purple plus?

Coral+ is a nice bulb. Billed as a mix of B+/AB/p+. bit more blue then the aqua blue.

+1 on the coral+ bulb. The aquablue special is like a 12k bulb and the coral+ is more of a 14-16k bulb. Plus it still puts out great par. I have a 6 bulb t5 over my tank and I run 3 blue+, 2 purple+, and 1 aqua blue special and I think when I have to change bulbs I will go with the coral+ instead of another aqua blue special.
