...just an update on my tank....
I switched out the procolors after about a month. I was not happy with the lack of output. The new bulb combo is: 3 ATI Blue + 2 ATI AB Special 1 UV Aquasun Color is a little more blue, but renders the best imo.

fijiblue - your ati blue+ and ati ab special should cover the blue range of (430nm to 480nm). The ati procolor should cover the red range of (600nm to 700nm).
The ati blue+ and ati ab special put out plenty of PAR it’s just the procolor is unmeasurable by home PAR meters, Oliver has already stated this on RC. Anyway you got plenty of PAR now with these buds and by the way do you have an updated picture of the new bulb configuration. |

Hate to be a pain but I need you to ask the question in the T5 Q&A thread. I don't want to turn this into a second general Q&A thread.

Hey grim, im replacing my bulbs in my 6 bulb tek fixture and was debating on keeping my current setup(Blue+, UVL super actinic, Geisman 10K daylight, Blue+, GE 3000K, Blue+). I really liked fijiblues setup with 2 blue+, 2 blue special, and 2 pro color. I was wondering if you have any pictures of what your Blue Plus, Pro Color, Super Actinic, UVL 75/25, Blue plus, Blue Plus setup looks like. Im trying to get a feel of what the bulbs will look like. Thanks.

Santa left a little cash in my stocking for some need bulbs. I just wanted to check to see if this combo is still the recommended mix for a 4 bulb set-up.
ATI Blue plus ATI Aqua blue UVL Super Actinic ATI Pro color The bulbs will be ran on 2 Ice-Cap 430s (2 per ballast). The tank is a 65 gallon with LPS,softies, and big beautiful RBTA. Thanks. |

ok so like i said i put the pro color into my aquactinics fixture...... i am trying to get the pic off of my phone so i can post it, the color seems to be ok but its honestly a lil too pink for me lol. I am wondering if i went with say 2 actinic plus bulbs vs 1 actinic plus and 1 super actinic if my par diff would hurt my system..... so instead of:
front: UVL Super Actinic UVL Actinic White ATI Pro color UVL Sun Pro ATI Blue Plus To: Front: ATI Blue plus UVL Actinic White ATI Pro Color UVL Sun Pro ATI Blue Plus I want to keep more of a hint of blue in the tank like a 14k look but would like to keep the pro color in there.... if i do this will i loose the purples in my tank? i have GARF Bonsai that is still coloring up and a couple of other purple pieces.... just wondering if they would still color up. Hopefully this is not a dumb question lol.... i look at the spectrums on the bulb at reefgeek and i was just trying to get all the light spectrum i guess lol.... here is the pic:
