T5 (6x39w) combo question

[oigimsar]

I just bought a fixture that will come in a few days and I would like to have my new bulbs ready to go.
It comes with this combo:

2 - ATI Aqua Blue Special
3 - ATI Blue Plus
1 - Pro Color


Would you suggest changing out any of these bulbs for another one? I would not want to change more than 1 or 2.

Thanks.

I'm not a fan of the pro-color, I have used it in the past. I personally would go with an ATI Purple+ or KZ Fiji Purple. Some other folks also loke the GE 6500. Really all depends on what kind of look you want for your tank.

IMO, I would ditch the Pro color and go with the P+. This is the combo I'd run

I have always run a Fiji Purple and was not familiar with the Pro Color. It sounds like it is not that great.

On my current 4 bulb set up I am running

GE 6500
Aqua Blue Plus
Aqua Blue Special
Fiji Purple

I have not used the purple plus but I would assume it compares to the Fiji?
I will get one of those and a daylight bulb and play with the combinations.

I run equal parts blue plus and Fiji purple on all 4 of my tanks. Best combo I have found so far.

from the early reports the P+ and FP and really similar, but the P+ costs a little less. I'm trying it out now, last week or so; previous to that i was using the FP.

Would like to see a pic of that.
