Hey all, I just switched from 2 Hydra 26 HDs to a 24" ATI Sunpower dimmable 6 bulb with 2 reefbrite royal blue LED strips for my 40 breeder (36"L x 18" x 18"). The guy I got the fixture from locally gave me the bulbs with it that have about 3 months left on them (maybe). I would love to decide on the best configuration for SPS growth/color that brings out the wide range of SPS colors from red, pink, purple, green, yellows, etc. I have never had a T5/LED setup, and this is my first SPS tank. Needless to say, I'd love some suggestions!

I would love to see what bulb combos you have and a FTS of your SPS setup, along with a recommendation. If there is a thread that I am missing (I tried to do some searching, but most threads were pretty old), please point me to that as well.

Here's mine currently with the bulbs that came with it:

Take a look at ATI's Blue+ and Purple+. Good mix for a reef tank.
 
They unfortunately don't show any SPS in that video. I would still love to see some SPS tanks with different bulb combos to try and help narrow the choice down on my preference.
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
