Great tank and inspiration. I'm in the process of setting up a SPS "frag" tank, with the hopes of starting my SPS journey and growing some colonies out from frags while I slowly get my new display sorted out.
Your information about bulbs, supplementation and spectrum has definitely cleared some things up for me and I look forward to testing some things out for myself. Frag tank is 48x24x12 and I've got a 8x54w ATI fixture that I'm going to try out with 4 B+ and C+ along with a pair of all blue RB tech strips to use as you mentioned for dawn/dusk/prime viewing time. With the shallowness of the tank the tech strips should provide plenty power to serve their purpose and I figure I'll probably have to raise the fixture up a bit to manage the PAR.
Couple quick questions, how do you feel about the Purple + bulbs and do you think adding 2 in the fixture would make a big impact on PAR? I was thinking Front to Back B,C,P,B,W,P,W,B or B,P,C,B,B,P,C,B. I like aesthetics of adding the purple but growth and coloration of the coral itself take precedence. Also, have you looked at the SB reef SBAR with both 420 and 450 diodes?
