Well had some help a couple years ago but I cannot remember what bulbs I got. i know I am running 3 blue + but I dont know a good daylight light. I like a tank on a bluer hint during daylight hours. I dont know what I should put in for my daylight bulbs. I run 3 blue+ what would you all recommend for the other 3 bulbs? I run a Nova extreme pro 6 bulb fixture on a 120 gallon 4 foot tank. I keep sps, lps, zoanthids and some clams. Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Best bulb combo ever was a 4 bulb setup
front to back:
UVL Superactinic
ATI blue plus
ATI aquablue special
GE 6500K daylight.
If you wanted to make it bluer, and use all 6 slots, maybe double the blue plus and aquablue special.

I have alot of reds and purples and in my opinion this setup brings out the best. For me the too many blue + washes out the reds and oranges.

I like a more bluer tank when the lights are on and at night a really blue for the florecents. If you have better suggestions it would be great. I am keeping clams, sps, softies, Lps and well anything really. I cannot remember what I ordered last time so input is welcome.

I'd use a combintion of the following:
-ATI Blue Plus (460nm Actinic)
-Giesemann Aquablue Plus (11K Days)
-KZ Figi Purple (420nm Purple)
Using those bulbs will give your tank a slightly blue appearence without sacrificing a ton of par. FWIW I don't recommend GE 6500k's as they are very yellow in color. HTH
