Help me pick new t-5 bulbs

[jitterbug]

Ok so I need to order new bulbs for my ati sunpower 36x6 lights that's over my 40 breeder. What I want to keep in the tank is mostly lps (acans, favias, and chalices) and some zoa the lights are about 13 Inches above the tank. So what bulb combo do you guys recommend I like the blue look thanks

4 blue plus, 1 coral plus,1 actinic. that would be a nice blue look

That's a lot of PAR for LPS in 40 breeder. I would go with 3×blue +, 2×actinic and purple.

I have 39*6 over my 40 breeder. I just picked up new bulbs;
4 ATI blue plus
1 KZ Fiji purple
1 GE 3000K

Overall I am happy, though I might pick up an GE 6500K, to see how that makes things look, instead of the 3000K.

I am running:
4 ATI Blue Plus
1 Geisemann Pure Actinic
1 KZ New Generation
Not a fan of the Purple+ or Fiji Purple..

I agree that's a lot of par for a 40 breeder . As far as bulbs Reefgeek has 15% off on ATI bulbs on the 21st only . I use 3 HexArc 460 Blue , 1 Hexarc True Actinic ,1 ATI CP , 3 12 K bulbs. I would save some money and get 4 Hexarc 460 Blue and 2 True Actinic. Since ur in Cali , I would call Marine depot @ 17.99 and have them price match PA's 12.59 price . I could not tell the difference between the HA 460Blue , Geisemann Actinic plus and the ATI blue plus . FWIW Hexarc's aren't crappy bulbs .They are made in the same factory as the Geisemann's .

Sorry but my iphone pics cannot capture the actual color of the tank.
But I have tried every combo I can think of and this is by far my favorite, FWIW..

ATI Blue+ or KZ Superblue
ATI Blue+ or KZ SuperBlue
KZ New Gen
( I do not like ATI Aquablue Special but have never tried the ATI Coral+)
ATI Blue+ or KZ Superblue
I have also tried ATI Purple+ and KZ Fiji Purple and do not like the color of those either.
HTH..
