I don't know, whatever make my coral grow and look good.. I would like to have at nite time, more blueish.. Like the step up I have right now. Switch one is more toward the white & Blue on day time, and switch two is all blue to bring out the color of the coral, and if I have both switch on, it pretty white/blue..

I read about the ATI Coral Plus & ATI Purple Plus, would like to try them..

Someone suggest the following..

What's a best combo for 4 - T5? For Fish and coral..

1 -Coral Plus
2 -Blue Plus
3 -Purple Plus
4 -True Actinic

Thanks

If you want to keep the white as you say, I would go with the
F
Blue+
Purple+
Blue+
Coral+
B

Dawn Dusk 2 Blues

Actinic isn't as bright, the Blue+ has a percentage of actinic in it.

Me, I like the 20k look and will be doing 3 Blue+ & Purple+. Just went through the bulb configuration process like you are lol

Coral Plus has quite a bit more red than the aqua blue so having it with a Purple Plus might be too much but I agree about losing the true actinic.
