What's the general opinion on ATI's coral plus T5 bulb?

[Monkeyfish]

Right now I'm using

Blue +
Purple +
Blue +
Ge 6500
Blue Special
Blue +

Would replacing the Special with the Coral + make the tank brighter or "blue-er?"

Maybe spread the blue out a little.

#2 and #5 come on for dusk dawn. I might try it out but I dont know how a purple+ and blue+ would look on their own.

a B+ and P+ by themselves does not look that good together.

This thread is VERY informative, thanks guys and gals for the ideas. Sounds to me that the C+ is a good choice for sure.

will def. post some pics when I get these ordered and installed. Thanks again for the motivation!!

Does anybody have any pictures of each ATI bulb by itself so I can see what they look like over a Reef Tank or does anyone have any Links to Pictures? :fish1:

I love putting a blue plus and purple plus on the dusk dawn setup. It looks way better than 2 blue plus IMO because it picks up a lot of color that only blue light misses.

You've been tapped!

LFS had one above one tank and aquablue above another. the coral plus seemed more pink/red to me. reminded me a lot of the color of the purple+ which I didn't care for. I'll stick to my blue+, actinic and aquablue
