Changing my ATI combo again!

[Ariel110G]

So this is what I have now, 3 blue+, 2 true atinic, 1 purple+.
I want to take out the purple+ and replace it with blue +.
So to have 4 blue+ and 2 true atinic.
I'm looking for the best coral growth combo for softies, zoa, polyps, and LPS.
(and I have anemones in the tank as well)

Anyone??? I can imagine people had enough about light combo's, but lighting is so important!

Probably want a "white" bulb in there at some point. A Coral+ would work well.

I run 8 bulbs with a lot of SPS... 4 Blue+, 3 Coral+, 1 Actinic. All ATI bulbs in an ATI Sunpower. I'm happy with the color for the most part. Dawn/dusk is a Blue+ and the Actinic.

Its interesting that on ATI?s website, on the page wherethey have bulb recommended combos, they don?t use the True Actinic bulb at allon any of the combos.

i think that would be too much blue
i think the purple is useless.
on a 6 bulbs fixture, a nice color is combo is 3 blue+, 2 coral+ and one actinic

I did the same on my 8 bulbs fixture by dishing the purple plus. I am now running 2 actinic, 3 coral+ and 3 blue plus

The ATI Actinic bulb is amazing. I replaced a Blue+ with it a while back and a few weeks later things were glowing more than they ever did.

I don't think there's a point to the Purple+ bulb if you are using Coral+ bulbs, which I do. I think the Purple+ is useful if you run Aqua Blue Specials or a GE6500k. I've tried both and didn't love em. The Coral+ is said to be a blend of the ABS, Blue+ and Purple+ in "the right" ratio.

My experience with the Coral+ is all good.

It's looks like ill take out the purple+ and replace it with a Coral+
