the thread is a lot longer than 33 pages tho, it keeps splitting. it is probably several hundred pages all together

From what I've read of others' experiences and seen in photos, they are similar but many seem to prefer the aquasun. Apparently, the procolor is rather overpowering whereas the aquasun is more subtle and blends nicely with blue bulbs.

Since you're only going with softies and zoanthids, here's what I'd throw in your setup:

blue plus
super actinic
aquablue
aquasun
blue plus

You'll get a pleasing 20k blue look with plenty of color pop from the zoanthids and softies. Note that there is a burn-in period with the bulbs and everything will look much bluer until the bulbs settle in. Don't go with first impressions.

Less blue? Replace the super actinic with an aquablue
