I have a couple and don't use them. Unless you are only running 4 or fewer lamps I don't think they are worth the price.
Hi Grim,
I'm have a 4 x 39w ATI Sunpower currently running 2 x ATI Aqua Blue specials and 2 x ATI plus.
I'm due a tube change in march. I managed to get hold of 3 x ATI Aqua Blue specials and 1 x ATI Pro colour for a good price from someone who ordered them and broke down his tank before even using them.
I bought them as a bulk buy mainly as I wanted the Aqua Blues so I'm not sure if I'm even going to run the pro colour.
I'm also looking at the new KZ Coral Light Super blues to replace the ATI Blue plus but after reading bits of the his thread I'm also considering trying a Fiji Purple.
Do you have any suggestions using the tubes mentioned above?
I was thinking of trying:
2 x ATI Aqua Blue plus
1 x ATI Blue speical (or KZ Super blue)
1 x KZ Fiji Purple (or Pro Plus but unsure due it's strong colour and low PAR)
Many thanks.

For 4 bulbs run 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 ATI Aquablue and 1 KZ Fiji Purple
I can't seem to edit my quoted post but I thought I'd mention my tank is 20" deep and these are the colours I get with my current tube set up:
The Workhorse 7 will run 2 x 80w bulbs. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/fulham-workhorse-7-t5-ho-fluorescent-ballasts.html
Currently, I'm running 2 ATI True Actinic and 2 ATI Blue Plus. I am using them as a supplements. I would like to replace 1 of the True Actinic with either a KZ Fiji Purple or an ATI Purple Plus. Other than the price, what is the difference between the Fiji purple and Purple plus?

From what i have read in numerous posts and tests the par number for the kz line is as follows:
-New gen is 330 a true 15,000k bulb that burns into a little whiter after 6 months
-coral light was 343 the highest par of any t5 bulb i have seen but a bit yellower then the aquablue from ati (10,000k)
-superblue ia 310-320 about the exact same as the ati blue plus and look pretty similar (20,000k)
-fiji purple is 325
Again depending on the fixture used the age of the bulb and test variables its going to varry but the kz bulbs have been proven to have the around the same par as ATI.
