I have a 48" 4 bulb t-5 fixture on a 75 gallon tank & it's time to change the bulbs. I have mushrooms &zoas only for corals. I would like to know what kind of ati bulbs should I consider?

Aqua blue – Combines the properties of a full-spectrum bulb with an elevated blue color peak producing a bulb with an approximate color temperature of 15,000K.

Blue plus – Combines the properties of a blue bulb (approximately 460nm) with an actinic bulb (approximately 420nm), producing an intense blue light with high PAR numbers.

ATI Purple plus – Combines the properties of a full-spectrum bulb with strong red and blue components, producing a bulb with excellent color rendition.

The Blue Plus is the actinic bulb.
