Blue plus is the go to ATI bulb. I really liked the True Actinic when I had 4 of them. Coral plus is a good "white" bulb. Aqua blue I think, is a mix between blue plus and coral plus...

Than can explain the differences WAY better than I can.

I like a whiter light, but Andrew's coral definitely has the glow most of you guys seem to prefer. His looks more Studio 54.

I'm with you that's why I'm going with aqua plus and coral plus. It's a great combo to me.

I like the coral plus too. I have one in another tank.

The 2 new guys are still doing well. They are both out in the open. I'll try to get a few pics tomorrow.

I find myself going leaning blue. My nano is blue. Blue blue like take a village of smurfs, juice them and paint everything with the pulp... ok that got a bit morbid...

The fiancee's and the 90 tank is a bit more white, but still blue. The Reefer needs new lights tho. Just had a Kessil pretty much explode over the 90 from overheating, and the $50 amazon aqua knights can't put out enough power for the Reefer250.

Proof is in the pudding tho, blue grows corals. Personal preference on what color temp you like, as long as that 450-410 spectrum is there, you're golden.

@Why-Me before I forget...the pederson will probably like some frozen Mysis. Leave your powerheads on. Mine eats anything now.

Isn't 432 supposed to be the ideal?
