T5 Bulb combination.

[Gfuller]

I have a 6x39 watt t5 bulb set up on my 65 gallon and im thinking about going with ati bulbs. Starting from the front im thinking about running blue plus, atinic, coral plus, blue plus, atinic, coral plus. What does everyone think?

If your set on that combo I would move the second coral plus more towards the middle. I run:

Blue+
Coral+
Blue +
Actinic
Blue+
Blue+

I likes a lot :)

I run in my set up:

Blues Plus
Blues Plus (2-Channel)
Purple Plus
Aquablue Special
Blues Plus (2-Channel)
Blues Plus

I've gotten great growth from this combo and its a nice 14-16K or so.

Actinics are useless IMO, they don't give off as good as par as the Blues Plus.

4 ble plus and 2 coral plus or 4 blue and 2 purple plus are good combos run the purple or coral in 2 and 5 positions.

Thanks for all the input everyone! I'll change out one atleast one actinic for a blue plus and move the coral plus to the 2 & 5 spot! I love the ati bulbs!
