This is the combo I run other than I am using a fiji purple instead of a purple plus. I think the color is perfect.

Awesome. I installed the new bulbs yesterday and I love them. But I actually ditched the Coral+ Running 5 Blue+, 1 Purple+ and 3 Actinics.
Question do you have the Actinics on first? Currently I have it set up like that but I am unsure if I like the dance party cosmic bowling look of just actinics. It is cool and certainly something interestign but it looks a bit insane. Considering running 1 Actinic and one Blue+ first.
That being said once the whole light is on its amazing the actinics help to make some colors pop.
Currently I am running one blue + and one actinic before and after the main lighting period. It looks pretty good, a little brighter than the LED's I was running before. . Just the other day I was thinking of running both actinics instead to see how I like it.

Thanks I think I am going to do this. You can try both actinics, but I think the neon glow is a bit overkill, kinda looks too unrealistic. The actinics in the mix are awesome and do a lot to make corals pop but without a Blue + to cut the edge off its crazy.

Thanks!!
Different light combo means different colors. Seems like my increased feeding, lower PAR, addition of actinics and overall more Xtra and CV have made an impact.
Here are a handful of shots from this evening.
Also happy to report the Vivid's Rainbow Delight is starting to show some color progress:
Added these guys a while ago.
Reef Raft Ultimate Rainbow Rasta
Lastly the Elusive (Super controversial right now over at R2R) Jawdropper is looking more and more bad *** every day.
I officially accept the challenge to color this guy up as it seems no one out there with a piece has been able to...

Tank looks great so do the colors I did have a question as I was reading back through your thread.
How did you come up with the above dosages?

Thanks!
Actually I now dose this routine, I come up with the amounts based on tweaking numbers and amounts every couple weeks. Once you hit ULNS it is very easy to tweak based on colors and SPS health. I started by using the Zeo Guide as a base mark, (typically using about half the amount suggested on the bottles) and through water tests, tweaks and coral health ended up with this.

So I picked up 3 frags today in what should be my last trip to the coral shop for a while. I have shuffled some stuff around to make some room and move some of the mediocre stuff out or to the back....

Reef Raft Canada Ultimate Orange Passion - A new insane version of Orange Passion, its a deeper blue and colorful coral. Same orange passion awesomeness but better.
