Bulb Choices

[sperry]

With the talk about a lamp order. I was thinking about bulb combinations. In a 4 bulb (VHO or PC) what would be the best combination for mostly soft corals and LPS with a just couple of SPS?

Currently I have:
1 10000K, 2 50/50 10000K/7100K Blue, 1 Actinic Blue PC in my Nano Cube 12 gal.
1 10000K AquaSun, 1 50/50 12000K Actinic White and 2 Actinic Blue VHO on a 75 gal.

I will be ordering a new 3 bulb PC hood for a 6 gal nano soon, I was thinking about 2 10000K and 1Actinic Blue for it but dont know if I should change 1 of the 10000Ks to a 50/50 10000K/7100K blue.

Thoughts, comments?

Cathy has almost the exact system in her 55 and her growth is great. She'll have to chime in here but I believe she has 1 actinic, 1 420nM, 1 10K, and 1 6,500.

I have (actually my wife has) the 8G nanopod that Dave donated from Kermit's for our christmas meeting. Its an actinic and a 10K. I'm really thinking about taking that 10K and adding something with more blue. I really like the blue specturm for the vivid colors.
