I have 2 ati blue plus and 2 12k bulbs in a 4 lamp fixture. Is this a good combo for growth. The color looks good but I would rather have my coral grow fast then worry about color later. They are 54 watts a piece. I have some zoas, hammer, yellow torch, frogspawn, green star polyps, acan, duncan, a small frag of pocillopora at the top close to the light and some palys. I'm looking for growth not color of corals
 
You could scrap one of those white lights for another Blue Plus, and you'd still be fine.
 
Absolutely, you could use the aquablue plus, excellent bulb and coloring.
