You will get better responses in the lighting forum.

It's really up to you...
Have you had experience and know the bulbs?

Nope, I just have Coralife...

One blue+, one AquaBlue Special.

Just my opinion... I have an 8x, 3 Blue+, 3 ABSpecials, 1 Actinic, 1 Purple+. Good mix for me, anyway.

Awesome, I’ll do some research on lighting.

You should fit as many bulbs you can over your tank.
Could you perhaps use 4 bulbs?
You need to decide the fixture/number of bulbs and have the very best you can to afford to have a decent set up.

I probably can fit 4, but I’d need a bit more money to get a new fixture

I'd recommend atleast 1 bulb being Aqua Blue + because it has a pretty broad light spectrum. You can supplement it with any of the other bulbs or you could even double up on the Aqua Blue +.

1blue+ 1 coral+ was my favorite 2 bulb combo

Blue Plus and Coral plus are a good combo IMO.

if you like a bluer look, a purple plus, and a blue plus. If you put an aquablue special into a two bulb fixture, your tank is going to be white. It really overpowers the blue. If you can do a 4 bulb, you will be in better shape. I run 3 blue plus, and 1 purple.
