I have a 75 gallon reef tank with a 6x54w bulb current nova extreme pro fixture. I'm looking for bulb combos for some new bulbs. I only have 4 bulbs in right now and they are old (recently started my tank back up). I currently have:
2x ati aqua blue special
2x ati blue plus
Obviously I need 6 bulbs, but I'd like something that brings out the colors better, but at the same time provides good PAR (unlike actinics).
I was thinking maybe this combo:
4x ATI blue plus
1x ATI purple plus
1x GE 6500K daylight
or a more blue look would be:
4x ATI blue plus
1x ATI purple plus
1x ATI aquablue special
I'd seen someone who did the first combo (with the GE instead of the ATI aquablue bulb) on here somewhere and it looked really good. Can anyone give there opinions on these or attest to them?
How do you think this would look? Would it bring out the colors better but at the same time provide decent lighting for corals? I only have LPS and softies right now, but maybe in the future would like a couple Sps and maybe a claim.
