I have a 6 bulb aquatic life light over my 210. I am curious to what people suggest for the bulbs to use for my lps corals and zoas. Right now I have an acintic blue, another acintic blue, acintic purple, acintic blue, 10k and acintic blue. I have more 10k bulbs and more purple bulbs also. What is the best arrangement that you suggest?
Thanks,
Craig

I'd switch to ATI bulbs. They are far better than Aquatic Life. Something like 4 blue plus and 2 coral plus is a good starting point.
With what you have I'd 3 or 4 blue and the rest 10k. The actinic bulbs have very little PAR

Sounds good to me. I will switch out my purple for a 10k and then invest in new bulbs

Perfect. I will order some tomorrow. I want to make sure my corals are growing well before I start buying more.
