Have a 4 bulb T5 ballast. Pretty much decided on two Blue Plus bulbs, what else should fill the other two slots to get the best color out of my corals?

What kind of bulb is the fiji purple? Actinic? Daylight? Any idea on PAR from this bulb?

I suggest you go the the ReefCentral forum where Grimreefer posts, there is tons of info there.

Go ahead and place your order. You will have to put your bulb color preferences in the comments field. If you need help, just say so in the comments field and Greg will give you a call. He's awesome.

The pro color is an odd bulb with a funky color and fairly low par levels. The only time I'd use one is in conjuntion with 7 other bulbs... If it's not too late I'd suggest going with another aquablue or aquasun if you want a whiter look or a UVL pure actinic if you want a bluer look and don't mind a hit in par. It's probably too late though, so hopefully you like the combo you picked.

the fiji purple did more for me than the pro color.
The pro color did give the purple a tiny bit more purple, and the pinks and reds a little brighter, but the fiji purple was much nicer in my opinion.
