Best T5 Color Combo for 36" TekLight???

[Xler8n]

So as some of you guys may have read i picked up a 36" 4 bulb TekLight for $45 because the guy thought the ballast was bad. I opened her up and waa laa, loose ground wire. Reconnected it and all 4 bulbs fired up fine. Now i need some new bulbs. I have 2 questions.

1) Will this fixture be enough to keep some SPS in a 40 breeder?

2) What will be the BEST color combo for this fixture. What have you guys had good experience using?

Thanks

4 bulb combos are kinda tricky to get right with T5's. I would suggest one of the following ATI bulb combos...

It will be sufficient for SPS

For a bluer look 3 x blue+ 1x aquablue special or for even more blue a coral+ instead of the abs

not quite as blue... 2 Blue+ and 2 x coral+

My preferred combo, but I tend to like lighting less blue than than most... 2 x Blue+ 1 x aquablue special 1 x coral+

It will be enough if you place it right over the SPS corals. I would do 2 ATI Blue Plus and 2 ATI Aquablue Specials.
