Ok...I have ordered an ATI 4X24 T-5 fixture. Now I need to pick out some lamps. I am running a 14K Astralux now and I am fairly happy with the look but I do like a bit more blue. 14K too white....20K too blue, so someting in between is what I am looking for. I also do the sunrise/sunset thing. I run a softie tank, so high PAR is not needed at all and I am more interested in a combo that will make my corals look their best.

So... Please help me with a great 4 lamp setup.

Thanks reefers,
Mark

For a color spectrum around 15k-17k. I would use the following bulbs.

Front
ATI Blus plus
UVL 75/25
ATI Aquablue special
ATI Blue plus
Back

You can get all these bulbs from www.reefgeek.com
