Thanks everyone! As usual, my R2R buddies are the best!
 
Personally, I like 2x blue+, 1 coral plus, and 1 purple. I like how the reds & blues look with a purple, but mainly the fish just look fantastic under it. I’ve tried 2x blue and 2x white combo and it just wasn’t for me.
Do you have a pic of the tank under those lights by chance?
 
I also like 2 b+, 1 c+ and 1 actinic. Was 1:1 c+\b+. Was too white for my liking.

I bought an Odyssea 2 bulb T-5 fixture to get some light on the tank while it’s fowlr, which may be a few more years. It comes with one white and one blue actinic bulb. For appearance, what ATI bulbs do you recommend? I’ll start with what I have. This is just a starter setup
