I have a 4 bulb t5 setup on my 65 gal 36x18x24...what is the best bulb combo for coral color and growth
 
Well, ATI makes good tubes. If you like a real blue look, you could go 3 Blue plus, and 1 coral plus, or if you like a little less blue, 2 Blue Plus, and 2 Coral Plus. If you were to add a strip of say 14 3 watt royal blue Cree, or Luxeon LEDs, you could go maybe 2 blue Plus, and 1 coral plus, and 1 purple plus. But it would help you if you could see something in person that you like, I think.
 
I have a buddy that runs an 8 bulb t5 and he runs 3 blue plus, 3 purple plus, and 2 coral plus and i love the way it looks...Maybe ill run 2 blue, 1 purple, and one coral
 
I had a 4 bulb fixture on my old tank with the same dimensions and I ran 3 At I Blue+ and 1 Ati Coral+

Now I have a 120 with a 6 bulb T5 and I run 5 Ati Blue+ and 1 Ati Coral+
