I know this is more of a personal preference than a true guide for success, but i'm curious as to what combinations everyone is using that runs T5s. I'm currently running an ATI 6 bulb fixture. I personally like a strong blue look, but do not like an overpowering blue that overwhelms the tank. This is the direction i'm thinking of going...

In order:
Blue Plus
True Actinic
Coral Plus
Blue Plus
Purple Plus
Coral Plus
 
I just put an ATI dimmable 8x54w over my 75G. My bulb combo is below

Front
Blue+
Purple+
Actinic
Blue+

Back
 
I ended up with:

2 blue plus
2 coral plus
1 actinic blue
1 purple plus

I also have this combination with blue Reefbrite. What order do you have them???

Mine are from front to back; C+, TA, B+, P+, B+, C+...

Not sure I'll have to check, but I know I've got the B plus and Coral plus spread evenly. Looking at a DIY LED supplement for moonlighting. Debated the reefbrite, but overly priced IMO.
