55 g 48x13x21 mix reef
i run 6x 54w ATI bulbs with cheap fixture and been very happy after i switched from MH to T5 .

front to back

blue+
actinic
purple +
blue+
Aqua blue special
Blue+

its almost time for me to change the bulbs and think to get one more ATI actinic instead of blue + for the coral fluorescent , i read that UV bulb(actinic) help with the coral fluorescent . Time will tell . If anyone have tried it please let me know if it . Thank you

Ohh ya also how long will the ATI bulb last if i run them 6:30 hours a day at 100% ?
