Would an ATI Blue Plus T5 bulb, all by itself, provide adequate spectrum for SPS, or does the Blue Plus bulb only function as a supplement?

I'm sure you could, but visually it would probably be way to blue. Youd want to throw a coral plus or a purple plus or an actinic in there somewhere

IMO , it would prob grow some. But it doesn’t hit all the right parts a coral needs.
