Wondering if anyone is running the same combo as I am and how their results have been. My current combo is listed below.
Front to back
B+
Actinic

GE 6500k

Purple+

I have played around with a few combos and have gotten use to the yellow/greenish hue of the GE6500kbulb. I am also running a Reefbrite at the front of the fixture. My tank look like 16-18k when all 8 bulbs are on. I like the 20k look or even more blue to show colors better but I also dont want to sacrifice growth when things really get going. I feel like some of my corals are loving it while some are having a hard time coloring up but that may not just be from the lighting. I have a few extra bulbs to play with if i am going to swap out the GE bulb possibly with a coral plus, blue plus or actinic. Please feel free to comment on your setup of bulbs and how things are in your tank. Forgot to mention the fixture is about 8.5" above the waterline on my 100g tank. Thanks
