T-5 Bulbs
Right now i am running K-Z bulbs, 2x Coral Light II New Generation, 3x super Blue and one Fiji purple, I am needing to change these in the next couple of months and am considering ATI. What I think i will do in bulbs is 4x blue plus and 1x purple plus and 1x true actinic.
Question is, in there value to adding the true actinic bulb, do they provide something for the corals that other bulbs don't? The T-5s i run in conjunction with LED, I have lots of white in my LED!

You'll get a mixed bag of answers on this one. A trade off (that I went to) is using the giesseman actinic blue tubes. They are a touch darker than blue + bulbs and supposedly have more actinic spectrum.
