I run coral plus. Much nicer than Aquablue special.

How many bulbs is your light?

I run 8 bulbs 48". Bulb configuration suggestion? 30" H. Mixed reef 6" from water line.

Thinking
2 coral plus
4 blue plus
1 purple plus
1 true atinic.

What do you guys think?

that is very similar to my 8 bulb setup...should look great!

Should be a great combo. Just play with bulb position. It makes a difference in the look.

Well most of my sps are near the back so I'm planning having the coral plus back and middle. And the blue plus in front. And the purple and atinic in middle.

How slow should I phase the new bulbs in? One bulb a week? Or can I put in a new bulb ever 3 or 4 days until all the old ones are out?

I just replaced my bulbs and instead of buying on line i picked mine up from Manhattan Aquarium, they had every type of ATI bulb!

I have them in stock.

Any tips on how to change em? I know gradually but how gradual?

If you can raise the light up another 10"-12" or so, u can change all bulbs. Then slowly lower the light over a week or 2.

If you can't raise the light, then I'd say 2 bulbs a week.

Thank you. 2 bulbs at a time or one sunday then another in the middle of the week? I can't raise the light.
