I did my homework right and that this bulb configuration would work for the health and growth of corals. Thanks for your input.
D-D GIESEMANN POWERCHROME 24 INCH 24W AQUABLUE+ T5HO FLUORESCENT BULBx1
ATI 24 INCH 24W PURPLE PLUS T5HO FLUORESCENT BULBx1
ATI 24 INCH 24W BLUE PLUS T5HO FLUORESCENT BULBx2
 
With only 4 lamps I would leave out the purple plus and add in an ATI Coral Plus instead. The purples don't do much and the PAR is super low. Other than that not too bad.

Why did you decide on the Giesemann instead of the ATI Aquablue Special? It is a toss up as I like the spectrum of the Giesemann but the ATI is close and has more PAR...
 
As I'm only running a 20g standard tank the I honestly didn't think the par values would be that far off and yes, I liked the spectrum of the Giesemann better to round it all out.
 
I like the set up. Should look fantastic.
 
Thanks... After the crash a couple weeks ago I'm just trying to get stuff healthy again and keep it that way
