I am getting ready to buy new bulbs for fixture which is a Hamilton Cebu 3x 400w MH with 4x 80w t5 the tank is 180gal and will be sps dominant it is newly set up so no corals yet.

This is what I am thinking:

10k mh bulbs for good growth and
2x ATI true actinic and
2x ATI purple puls

Please show me pics of your combos to help me decide.

Thanks Dan
 
Any recommendations even without picture? Thanks
 
I used to run two Blue +, along with the actinics when using a 10K MH lamp. I think it was better at blending out the yellowish tint of the 10K MH lamps.
 
With 10k I would run either 4 blue plus or 2 blue 2 true actinic. Running 2 purple plus bulbs won't look to good.
 
When I get my fixture in end of the week I will be running 2 250 watt radius 2 blue plus and 2 true actinic. On a 120 gallon sps tank.
 
Thanks I was not sure how the purple + would look guess I will switch them out for the blue +
 
Or just try 1 purple plus with the 3 blue that will look fine.
 
Thanks all I would love to see some pictures of some combos with 10k if anyone has them.
