I run an 8 bulb Ati fixture also. It's 8" above the water and I run a similar lighting schedule as you do. All 8 bulbs are on for 6 hours, actinics 1 hour before and 2 hours after other lights.

The combination blue plus en special is the best combination. Better than coral plus.

What coral do you have in your tank? Do you have a photo?

Mine is at 8" over the water surface. My tank is 18" high. I get about 250-300 mmol PAR on the sand bed (in the middle).
