changing my ATI combo again!?!?

[Ariel110G]

So this is what I have now, 3 blue+, 2 true atinic, 1 purple+.
I want to take out the purple+ and replace it with blue +.
So to have 4 blue+ and 2 true atinic.
I'm looking for the best coral growth combo for softies, zoa, polyps, and LPS.
(and I have anemones in the tank as well)

I use 3 blue+, 1 aqua blue special, I coral+ and a purple+.
Works for me.

Any other opinions?

Under the lighting section there is a t5 q&a thread with endless info.

Thats a lot of blue! This post helped me pick out my tube combination, not sure if you've seen it or not.

Its interesting that on ATI’s website, on the page wherethey have bulb recommended combos, they don’t use the True Actinic bulb at allon any of the combos.

I suggest:

3 Blue +
1 Actinic
2 Coral +

If you want a bluer look, then try

4 Blue+
1 Actinic
1 Coral +

FWIW, my last 6-tube combination was 3 Blue + and 3 Coral +, which gave me white look with a hint of blue.

I have the following combo:

4 Blue+
1 Coral+
1 Purple+

Thinking about changing out either the Coral+ or Purple+ for a True Actinic
