T5 bulbs should I use

[AlwaysHatingNathan]

So currently I’m about do big overhaul on my 56 gallon mix reef. And I’m going to be using a 4 bulb T5 fixture. Maybe ad two more bulbs with DIY thing imma try but haven’t decided yet. Eventually I might get some used kessil and have them angled on side tank but that way down line. But I’m thinking using front to back (ATI)
Blue plus
Coral plus
Actinic
Purple special
If I do the diy thing I plan to add two more bulbs front to back prob be blue plus and Another purple but we will see, thoughts? What do y’all run?

B+
Coral+

I’m currently running all blue plus and liking it. I have a six bulb fixture.. my mix may be a bit blue for most people. I may put one coral plus in down the road. I have in the past run all b+ with one coral plus.

If I were my 4 bulb fixture I’d just run 2 blue+ 2 coral+

I second the 3 Blue + and a Coral +. If you like the blue look tho, run all 4 Blue + bulbs and your corals shall go into hyperdrive.

That one sounds interesting, I do want more pop of color, I’ve never ran coral + before or actinic
