ATI PowerModule bulb choices

[Mikro]

What would be the best ATI bulbs to get for the PowerModule? It uses 6 bulbs.
Last time I used 2 Blue Plus, 1 Purple Plus, 2 True Actinic, and 1 Aquablue Special 12,000K.

I was thinking of ordering the bulbs from Reef Geek..

Thanks,

Mikro

This is a good combo, but if you go this route, you'll be eliminating 2 of your actinics. This will add much more PAR so acclicamte your coral properly

I'm on the same boat as the OP, looking to get 6 bulbs for an ATI fixture.

This seems like an awfully blue setup. Any pics of a tank running this combination?

What if 1 or 2 of the blue plus bulbs were substituted with aquablue specials?

That combo is about a 15k look. If you want more of a 10k look, add another coral + and take out a B+

So by 10k do you mean it would be more like a daylight effect?

I'm running this combo and it is not overly blue, especially once the bulbs have had a few days to run. This is the best combo I have found so far.

Which combo was that Rosco?

Is there a combination that would be better to control algae growth?
