I presently have a current 48" 8x54 watt fixture on a 110 gallon DT 24" high. The bulbs I have are front to back. All ati. I wanted to start with more sps corals.

Any recommendation on my bulbs. Also thinking about getting a reef brite strip. Which strip should I buy or not?

Thanks,
Jose
 
If your worried about PAR get an ATI fixture, the reflectors are bar none. They put off way more usable light then any other fixture out there. Trust me I have a ATI Sunpower 6x80W. DO NOT get a reef brite it won't support SPS. There is nothing wrong with the combination you have now, unless you wanted to change the kelvin rating of the tank. I personally would take out one of the purple+ you only need one your asking for algae growth. I would swap it out for a blue+. Also if the fixture you have now is putting off enough par replace the purple+ and one blue+ for 2 coral+.
