I think I'm gonna order 2-blue plus, 1-aqua blue sp., and the purple plus. Seems to be what most folks like on here, so I'll give it a shot.
 
I love ATI hahah had to say that. I have 6bulb fixture but none the less i would go front to back aquablue special. blue +, true actinic, aquablue special
 
I run an ATI PM 8 80 watt bulbs only one white and still to white I want it to be more blue or radiant not getting that vho pop i get on my other tank
blue +
blue
white
fiji purple
blue
blue+
fiji
blue+
 
I just ordered a purple+ and an aquablue special to go along with my 2 blue+ bulbs. If it's too "white" what should I swap in for the aquablue?
 
I just received my new purple plus and aquablue special t5s! Yeah! My question is this: 2 t5s come on before the final 2, just like with most of your setups. Should I have the Purple+ and Blue+ come on before the other blue+ and Aquablue? How would you arrange it?
Also, is it just me or do the blue+ bulbs almost seem too bright to be the first ones on? I know people use actinics to lead into "daylight" but these bulbs are insane! :) I'd be pretty grumpy if those lights came on above me while I was sleeping :)
My bulbs are all 48" 54w.
 
I have a question what 4 bulb combo will give me a crisp blue look, with good coloration ATI bulbs of course.
 
I am using a 24" Tek 4 bulbs with an addition DIY LED strip
So here is my bulbs combination
2 aquablue special
1 purple plus
1 coral plus
1 Blue LED strip that I made using the 12 cree x 3watts = 36w
color looks awewome
