I am currently running two 36" Outer Orbit fixtures over my 220g SPS dominated reef. I'm coming up on a complete bulb change and am interested in any ideas on T5 options. Here's what I am currently running:

4 X Phoenix 14K DE (which replaced the stock Current USA 10K's) - very happy with these.

8 X 39W T5's - these are the T5's that came supplied with the fixtures. They are marked Current USA, 460nm and 420nm respectively (4 of each).

Any thoughts on options for the 8 X T5's.

I would do 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 UVL Super Actinic and 1 KZ Fiji Purple.

Blue Plus
Fiji Purple
MH MH
Super Actinic
Blue Plus

That would add a ton of color to the tank.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll take at each of the bulbs but it certainly does seem to be quite the combination. And definitely a departure from what I am currently running.
