ATI 6x24 over Fusion 40 - Combo/Height

[Hentz]

Hey guys, so I'm currently running a 4-bulb T5 by CoralVue. Returning it to a friend today, and am getting my ATI 6x24 dimmable tomorrow.

First question, what's your favorite bulb combo? I've got an SPS dominant tank. Also, I'm not CRAZY about the blueish tint, so of course the Blue+ put out the most par.

Also, how high should I hang these lights? From my understanding, they're powerful! And I don't want to burn my SPS lol.

Thanks guys,
Zack

how high from the water are your lights now? I would say start them off another 10in higher than what you have your original light from now than bring them down as the weeks pass as you don't see bleaching.

I would start at 12-14 inches above water. And 4 blue plus 1 purple plus 1 coral plus. If you want even whiter tank replace coral plus with aqua blue special. That is a good starting place for bulbs you can tweak it from there to your personal taste. Or check this site with popular combos.
