bulb combo

So after nearly 5 days without a light my 4 bulb ati sunpower finally arrived. My corals are pretty unhappy but are opening up. I neglected to buy bulbs online because I thought the lfs would have some. Anyway I managed to round some up for the time being but the combo is all wrong. I have two brand new wave point bulbs (blue wave and sun wave) and two older ATI one aqua blue and blue special. Will probably get rid of the older ones. Anyway any advice on new bulbs? GQ said they have a KZ pink in stock. Or should I just keep these for now and have SEA order me some (insert your suggestions here).

No it shouldn't as long as you acclimate your coral to the new bulbs. If you have a light hanger for the light fixture then just raise it up or you can pick up egg crate light diffuser from HD / Lowes / or Ace and use like 3-4 pieces over your tank ( should be about 1 big sheet of egg crate) and just remove the top piece of the egg crate every week so your coral can adjust to the new spectrum. I used this exact methed when I replaced all 6 bulbs on my 40 breeder and I didn't end up bleaching out any corals.

On my tank, I liked 3 ati blue+ and a Aquablue special. I tried the Purple+ but felt like there wasnt enough reds and pinks in my tank to make those corals pop enough to use that bulb.
