I'm going with ATI bulbs for my 75g tank. mixed reef. Whats a good bulb combo? 3 Blue+----2 Purple+ ---- 1 CoralPlus,
Maybe a Aquablue instead of the coralplus?
I guess I'm trying to reach maybe 20K on the lighting.
 
3 Blue+, 1 Coral+, 1 KZ Fiji Purple, 1 Actinic 03 Will get you good results from a 6 bulb fixture.

Use either one of the Blue+ and Fiji Purple, or Actinic and Fiji Purple for your dawn/dusk channel for best "pop"
 
Yes I appreciate all the info! Thanks for that link, good stuff to know there. Its funny as far as pricing goes, the farthest seller is in FL has the best price with free shipping. Everyone else is about 20-40 more just because of shipping. Unless someone knows of a secret deal somewhere... :biggrin1:
 
I like Premium Aquatics for bulbs, with 6 bulbs youll get pretty close to free shipping, then just buy a few things you need, and bam, free shipping and no tax. Youll have in 48 hours or less!
 
Reefgeek.com is good as well, but same price as premium, plus you have to pay shipping and delivery takes way longer from Cali. Besides, you support our local sponsors buying from premium.
 
So I went with 3 blues, 1 Fiji Purple, 1 Coral Plus and 1 Actinic. I'm just running the 2 blues righ now. My setup is from front to back. Blue, Purple, Coral, Blue, Actinic, Blue.
The outer pair is blue which come on first. then the #2/5 on second then 3/4 are in the middle and last. Then they shut off in reverse order. I think I made a good choice for my tank. Thanks everyone.
Here a quick pic of a drastic color difference.
