Here is the deal. I have searched high and low on the net and can not find a good answer. I have a 8x54 powermodule and have become a little frustrated. With my current bulb combo I get pretty amazing sps growth all through my 120. My problem is I can not seem to get the visual coloration that I want. The corals actually have all of their colors, but viewing them they seem off. Primarily my pinks and reds(they seem deeper more of a maroon/burgandy). I also have a 24 x3w led supplement also.

Front
Blue Plus
Actinic Plus
Blue Plus
Blue Plus
Fiji Purple
Blue Plus
Aquablue Special
Blue Plus

I do not know if it my arrangement or what. I have also tried a ge6500 in the mix and it is way to yellow. I have tried all of these bulbs in 8-10 different positions

I am at a point where I am trying to decide whether I switch back to halides.

Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome

Put the fiji purple and aquablue special closer to the front maybe?
