I use 2 Blue+ and 2 Coral+ as supplements to my LED's.
I am running the same

AquaticLife Hybrid Front to back - C+, B+, G4Pro running AB+ at 60%, B+, C+

I do find it a little white for my taste and have been thinking about replacing one or both of the C+ with the B+.

I use the Atinic+ and Coral+.

I tried B+ and C+ but it was way too blue for me. I did like C+, 2x B+, 1P+ but didn't like the slight banding I got down the length of the tank.

Front to back all ATI - B+, A, C+, B+

I have a P+ that I might switch the C+ with to see how it looks. Still haven't moved my AI 26HDs yet either.

In my 6x24 I used 3B+, 2C+, 1 Actinic. Loved it. Some may prefer the P+ in place of the Actinic -- If I had an 8 bulb, I would have definitely worked in the P+, but in a 6 bulb it was overpowering to my eyes.

AB Special is really underrated IMO. Nothing else gives you the full, round white base color to layer on top of.

I use AB Special and PP or AB Special, Blue Plus and Purple Plus.
