Ditch the Aquaticlife bulbs.

Anyway I like the bluer look and most coral love blue light too.
To get more PAR use ATI BLUE PLUS instead of AL actinics.

I just got these bulbs a few weeks ago, will switch over to ATI blue plus in a few months. So all actinics should be blue+, what about coral + or aquablue special?
