I'm thinking about getting the 36 inch 4x39w tek T5 fixture for my 46 gallon bow to replace my old Odyssea mh fixture. What bulbs should I get to showcase a mixed reef tank? Is there another fixture that you recommend that has moonlights?

Thank you. A few more questions for you. How would you position from front to back? What time schedule would you have the lights on for that dusk dawn effect?

I like a Blue+ then AB Special, then 2 blue+

I've tried adding a fiji purple in with the mix in any combo and it just looks off. It drowns out too much of the blues and greens. The reds and oranges do look better with the fiji purple though. I think it's better fit for a 6 bulb combo
