Hey guys I'm picking up a 36" 6 bulb tec light from cherry corals and curious as what suggestions would be for a strictly lps tank that will be housing acans, chalices, euphillia and so on this will in turn take my current tank back to what it was suppose to be strictly SPS so please help with my bulb combo of course I don't need a lot of par so it'll be more for color right?
Thanks in advance and once I get this going I'll get the build thread going!
 
I use Giessman bulbs, 6 48 inchers. I run 3 Aqua Blue, 2 Actnic + and 1 True Actnic. It gives about the same color as a 20k Halide and all my corals seem to love it. JMO
 
Hey thanks I was thinking 2 giesman actinic+, 1 giesman pure actinic, 1 ati true actinic 03, 1 ati aqua blue special, and 1 ati purple plus any ideas if this would be a nice combo?
 
I swear by ati and kz bulbs. I ran:
Ati blu plus x3
Kz Fiji purple
Ati aqua blue special
And giesman actinic

All the color you could want and had awesome growth
