T5 Users...What Daylight Bulbs Do You Use?

[Horace]

I am aware that many people use the Aquablue, GE, Blue+ combo but I am curious if any of you guys use the ATI daylight bulb? It seems to have a very nice spectrum distribution and indicates in its description that it promotes strong SPS growth. Do any of you guys use them? How do you think they would compare to the GE 6500k?

I currently run the following on my 75g SPS tank:

B+
AB
B+
GE
B+
AB

Strongly considering once URI bulbs come out:

SA (Super Actinic)
AB
B+
GE (or ATI Daylight, not sure which)
SA
AB


What do you guys think???

The GE daylight bulb has more PAR than the ATI bulb and is cheaper. I use 1 GE, 3 AB, and 3 B+.

Hmmmm Perhaps I will switch to this then....It seems the GE indeed is the best Sun bulb.

SA
AB
B+
GE

keep in mind that my Sps are mainly in the back 2/3 of my tank
