Best t5 4 bulb combo??

[Carter o51]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best 4 bulb T5 combo for my reef. I've messed around a bit with combos but I'd like to hear other peoples opinions. So what looks best as far as color and pop that is also good for growth. Id prefer geismann combos, but if an ati combo or mixture is better that works too. Thanks for the help

I always ran 3 ATI Blue Plus and one ATI Purple Plus. A little blue heavy but nice growth. Right now I run 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 Purple Plus, and 1 AquaBlue Special. Really crisp bluish white color now. I like it a little better.

+1 on the 3 blue+ and 1 purple+. That's what I've been told is best. I might have to try your new combo though.

When I ran a geismann aquablue + with actual blue bulbs I thought it was too white for my tastes

I will say that I think I had a little better growth with the 3 Blue Plus. However, I find the second combo more pleasing to my eye.

Front to back:

Blue+
Purple+
Blue+
Aquablue Special

Gives a nice, crisp look. Not heavy on blue, but enough for great color.

Yup 3 blue plus and 1 purple plus is awesome combo. I have also run 3 blue plus 1 coral plus. It's a little bluer but good growth and color combo.

I liked the 3 blue+ and 1 coral+ I use to run.
