So I just acquired a used 24" 4-bulb Tek T5 fixture and am planning to use it over a 24x18x12 frag tank. I was thinking maybe ati aquablue special, blue+, aquablue special, blue+. Is the light good enough for having sps in the frag tank. Should I switch in a fiji purple? and because its a frag tank should I just go for all or incorporate any 10k bulbs?

Thank you
