I'm thinking of heading towards the following T5 bulb combo:

4 blue plus, 1 65k, and a 1 coral plus.

Looking for MAX SPS Growth and Color

Whats your combos and how is your growth? Suggestions?
 
For my six bulb I doing the following front to back:

Blue+
Coral+
Kz Fiji purple
Blue+
Coral+
Blue+

Your gonna need a lot of blue to balance the 65k it's really yellow.

My tank is primarily SPS. My color spectrum is around 15-16k I believe

^^This! That combo will really make a nice looking tank. You could also replace of the coral + in K2parkstar's combo with another blue +. It would be much more blue, but would still look good.

Right now, I'm running a combo similar to what you mentioned. I have the following front to back.

Blue +
Purple +
Blue +
DD Geismann Midday 6000k
Blue +

Color is very nice and crisp with this combo, IMO. I'm considering replacing the midday with a coral + to see the difference. I have one laying around here somewhere.
