48" 54 watt bulbs 8 of them... best/prefered combo? (comes on in 2 stages 4 bulbs each i believe).

Order of interest:
#1 best for corals
#2 look to human eye
cost not a concern

I dont know what the 11k look like
was thinking 2 blue+, 6 11k... if that would be too blue then perhaps 2blue+, 411k, 2 sun

Check out the pic in my gallery. It is running 2 suns, 2 blues 1 aquablue(11K) and 1 actinic.

In your case I would think running 4 suns, 2 blues and 2 actinics would look nice but talk to Greg at Reef Geek, he'll do you right.

Grims suggestion would look really great and be on the blue side. If you find its too blue I'd swap out a Blue+ in favor of a Aquablue.

adrinal, if you don't see the gallery button for The Grim Reefer it may be due to you using a pop-up blocker like in ZoneAlarm or other firewall software. If you are running ZoneAlarm move the pop-up blocker from High to Medium and you will see the gallery button.

best for corals would be all 6500k you would get great growth, with bad color. run 4 6500k 3blue + and one antinic. you could also order an extra of each bulb and fiddle with it to find wht you like.
