It's almost time to change bulbs. I currently have the following in this order.

F-B
B+
B+
C+
B+
C+
Actinic
B+
B+

LEDS are set to run on preset B+ at 100%.

I'm looking for more pop + growth so I'm considering the following.

B+
B+
True actinic
B+
C+
True actinic
B+
B+

LEDS set to B+ preset at 100% or ABS 100% depending on how blue everything is.

What are your guys thoughts and should I stagger the bulbs differently? I've read that although the true actinic bulbs are low in par, they provide a good spectrum for coral growth and pop.

Would love input before I put in an order. I'd have to order a total of 16 bulbs, $$$$, so not wishing to have to buy extra bulbs to play around with. Previous order I bought ABS bulbs and totally hated it. It washed out all colors on the corals.
