T5 bulb configuration using ATI bulbs only..

[Dre59]

What will be the best 8 bulb configuration to give me a 14k with a POP? Also will listen to have a nice combo for a mixed reef (SPS on top). I will be using a Tek 8 bulb fixture on a 75gal..

Down graded from MH 650w :( Comed was taking my money :D

TIA!!!

The 8 bulb is going to be complete overkill for that tank.

5 ATI blue plus, 2 purple plus and 1 Aquablue. Grab a coral plus to play with as well.

I agree about the over kill.. But we will be upgrading later with a 48" foot print still.. Couldn't pass up a good deal ;) So the above will give me a 14k look? Also how about a 6 combo?

Swap out one blue+ for an 03 actinic and the ab special for the coral+ and you will be good to go.
