Thats a good combo. I run at the moment:
fromt:
ATI Actinic
ATI AquablueSpecial (12K daylight tube)
ATI Actinic
ATI Blue+
ATI Coral+
ATI Actinic
ATI AquablueSpecial (12K daylight tube)
ATI Blue+
So, 3/8 are white tubes, 3/8 are Actinic tubes and 2/8 Blue tube. I am getting very good colours.
People say the ATI AquablueSpecial (12K daylight tube) causes colours to be washed out; however I feel thats because their colours are not intense enough to begin with; if given at least 2 months with this tube, the colours will get better. Works for me.
Most people will use the Coral+ in place of the ABS. I like the ABS tube as it adds a lot of brightness to the tank due to the increas green and yellow spectrum.
