T5 lighting bulb mix

[rsantangelo3@co]

Ok so I have generic 10k and blue blue actinics from catalina which I will be using for my 10ks and actinic 460. For an 8 bulb fixture how would you place them and would you add a fiji purple or any other bulb out there in the mix. Going to be sps and softies tank and want the colors popping. Tek light coming next week. Opinions are appreciated!

If I had a 6-bulb tek I would do the following combo (front to back):

Ati Blue +
Ati AquaBlue
KZ Fiji Purple
Ati Blue +
Ati Aquablue
Ati Blue +

You'll need high PAR for SPS so I'd def go with those higher quality bulbs.

Take a look at rmr racers thread. He has sps and zoa's in his tank and uses t-5's. He gets good growth and has great colors with his bulb combo.
