I'm going to be adding some t5s to my Reef. The reason why is I will upgrading in the future and I'll either go with 2 more radions and more t5s or lll convert to halide t5.

I have two radion pros. I'll be adding 4 t5s I'm wondering which daylight bulbs.

I'm thinking about going with 2 coral plus and 2 blue +.

What other combos should I run. These will be on for 8 hours and the radions will be on for 11.

My goal is maximum "actual color" not actinic inspired color. I want to be and to shine a flashlight at my sps and see their color
 
Blue+ and royal blue LEDs are too close in spectrum to make much of a difference. Now Coral+ or Purple+ is a whole different story. Radion violet LEDs suck. My recommendation would be 2 Coral+ and 2 True Actinic.

Why true actinic? Why not an aquablue special?

Aquablue has no violet. Coral+ and Aquablue are very similar in spectrum with the main difference is coral+ being a little whiter. In the end if you prefer a bluer light go with aquablue vs coral+. I would still go with true actinic no matter what though.
