Ok guys, just bought the Dimmable Sunpower 8 bulb fixture, I've never owned T5s so I don't know where to begin with these. I'd really like if you could give me some ideas on color combos. I bought the 8 bulb fixture! Help! Post pics and details on your reef. My tank will be SPS dominated THANKS

Start to finish for a powermodule.

1. Blue LED on.

2. Then Center Channel on for more Blue, back to front: Blue Plus, Purple Plus, Blue Plus, Actinic. (Blue Hour)

3. Then Outside Channel on for more whites, back to front: Blue Plus, Coral Plus, Coral Plus, Blue Plus. (Peak)

In order with all lights on. Back to front is:
Blue Plus
Coral Plus
Blue Plus
Purple Up
Blue Plus
Actinic
Coral Plus
Blue Plus

I have 2 x 6 bulb powermodules so I'll give you what I'm running in that. I finally phased aquablue out after many years earlier this year.

Day: (4 Blue plus, 3 coral plus, 1 actinic)
b+, c+, b+, c+, actinic, c+, b+, b+

Sun up/down: (2 blue plus, 2 actinic)
b+, actinic, b+, actinic

I just got done doing yard work so I'm not getting up. You get a couch shot.

Tank Shot, this pic had an extra actinic running which made the color shift back to front so I swapped it for a blue plus. Newer tank.
