Better colors

[Teufel72]

I have a 125g 6 foot long with 2x36'' 10000k and 2x 36'' actinic T5HO
I have only red bubbletip anemone and a frogspaw so far. they are doigne very well but i find my lighting way to white. i was looking at ATI fluo and i like their purple plus/coral plus combinason.
Will it be ot to just have 2x 36'' coral plus and 2x 36'' coral plus? will it be enough? i wont go in SPS i think so like i said so far my frogspawn is doing great. Any advice? i could change my fluo to the ATI and add 2 36'' truelumen-pro-led-strips of whatever is required. Keep in mind that im on a budget here also.

Thanks for all the advice

What's your tank depth?

Sounds like you are already underlit. :-( general rule is atleast 3w per gallon. 4 36" t5s is not enough for that size tank. 125x3 is 375w of light. What is the watts on those bulbs? As for color, I don't think it matters as much as intensity. I'm sure any combination of colors will be fine. :-)

Color to my understanding is for your Viewing eye as all those bulbs should be within the ideal spectrum. I run a 30" deep with 2 kessil 160, dual hot5, and a 30" led 14k strip.

The bulbs are 39 watts each. I Know I am already too low but at
first I wanted fish only. Know I want Some of the less demanding LPS corals. And like I said my frogspawn is doing great.
Thanks all
