I've read a lot of people like:
1 purple plus
1 coral plus
4 blue plus
Apparently the blue plus has a lot of PAR and gives good growth.

Well the blue does penetrate the water deeper so it might need to do some research i guess

Im not geting bad color but still little frags.I wish they hurry up and grow..

Everything looking good. Sometimes it just seems like forever before they grow but then they just take off.

well for the last 2 weeks i have been fighting with Alk trying to find out what amount to dose,so far im up to about 75ml a day of Soda Ash..,I can tell a little that they look better since I have been dosing..

I ordered a purple+, David@reefgeek said he didnt think he get coral+ in by black friday.

I wanted a coral+ but after talking to David, a purple+ is a good choice too.

Yeah when you get your dosing amount figured out an get alk, ca, and mag steady I think you will see better growth.

I got 4 blue +, a coral + and a purple +... also ordered an extra geisseman midday sun to see how i like that vs. the coral +
