Welll, for my 4 bulb setup I just ordered 2 blue+, 1 purple plus, and 1 aquablue. There were a couple threads on here the other day with lighting combos. By far the blue + was the number 1 bulb. I'll see if I can find the link to grimreefers page on the topic....


Here it is, be sure to click on the link in post three for more good info...

For a six bulb I would go with 3 blue+, 2 aquablue special, and 1 purple+. If you like it more blue you can swap out one of the aquablue specials for another blue+.
