Ok..thanks so much! I figure in only a 34 gallon tank having 3 high par bulbs with be ok and I can also have the true actinic, even with its lower par.

Heritage, those pictures look IDENTICAL to the look I get with 3 blue+ one coral +. Not saying in person they look the same but however your camera captured it...that's how mine looks to the naked eye. When I take pictures it's nowhere near accurate so I don't bother. My par is actually a little high for how low I run my nutrients so I need to raise my fixture up some, but the combination you run I think would be perfect for an Lps medium light tank. Heck...I may even take the oldest blue+ bulb out and replace it with an actinic bulb just to lower the par a bit.

Jmo, but I think it would look washed out. I'm not a big fan of the purple plus, it's the same as the Fiji purple if you've ever seen one of them.
I have a purple plus that I bought for my led/t5 combo and it was to bright for what I like.
Maybe I should swap it out with the actinic and take a picture.
Yes, ive had a figi purple before, wasn't that impressed with it.
How much do the LEDs contribute to those colors?
Which picture do you like the color of better?
And...is the coral plus on in those pictures?

I like the blue plus true actinic. Only the one coral really changed color the rest looked the same or lost color. The one that changed looks kinda pink but I prefer the purple look.
It's probably a 50/50 mix between the led and t5 for color. The color looks the same whether the leds are on or not and vice versa. The led are adding more white to brighten the tank some.
The coral plus is not in those pictures but I do have one, the tank just looks more white.
I could get a picture tomorrow if you want to see it.
