I Used The Geismann Bulbs Liked The Color And Growth I Had, I Had The 11k's And The Antic Plus, I Do Believe It's A 2-1 Ratio. Hof Carries Them And Use's Them As Well

Thanks Rick.

In an SPS dominated tank, I'd use, front to back:

Actinic+
Aquablue+
Aquablue+
Midday
Aquablue+
Actinic+

We run the TEK fixture on our SPS propagation system and our grow out facility as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The midday bulbs are 6500K (very yellow).
The AquaBlue+ are 11000K (crisp white). I know that's contrary to what the name implies, but they are a very crisp white.

Hope that helps.
