T5 lighting combo recommendation

[YellowFinsReef]

I would like some recommendations from folks who have used T5s before about bulb combinations. I don't really like the blue look of most tanks and prefer the white crisp look. I'm gonna get a hybrid fixture with 4 bulbs - any good recommendation to achieve that white crisp look? I'm thinking about using the aquablue special (x3) and perhaps blue plus (x1) or actinic plus (x1). I'd be open to getting that warm light look too if anyone knows the combination strategy for those. Thoughts? Thank you!

I currently use 2 ATI Blue+,1 Coral+, and 1 Purple+. To me it looks to white when I have my radions on the AB+ program. I will probably add an actinic on my upgrade in place of either the coral+ or purple+.

2 giesemann 6500k tropics and 2 ati blue+. You’ll thank me. It looks spectacular.

Will the 6500k be enough for growing sps?

You’ll have plenty of top down par with your leds. The 6500k will do wonders for pigment development and for filling in light in hard to reach places

I have two ATI Powermodules, each with 48” x 8 bulbs plus three 75w leds fixtures.

I find that the Coral+ bulb is too white and washes out the tank

The blue+, aqua blue & true actinic combination seems to be the best with the LEDS at full power.
