What is the best 6 ATI bulb combo for coral growth?
Exactly what the title says. What's everyone's experience?

Strictly for growth? A 50/50 combo of ATI Blue plus and Aquablue bulbs. Color didn't look great but growth was good.
I'd be inclined to go with 3 blue plus and 3 coral plus now. It was a long time ago when I ran the other combo.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I currently run 3 blue plus and 3 coral plus. Not a bad growth but curious to see if I could get better.

I tend to experiment with different combos every year for my mixed reef. Right now I'm liking my current arrangement.
3-blue+ 2-aquablue 1-purple or coral

The 65k is so overpowering though. I tried that I. My setup and had to take it out. Way too yellow. I run 3 blue+ 2 coral+ and a purple +

I don't really notice a yellow color? Does one appear in your reef?
