Hi All -

I like the looks of a more blue tank. Currently I have this mix of lights in a 6 bulb T5 setup.

4 ATI Blue Plus
1 ATI Coral Plus
1 ATI Purple Plus

If I were to remove the Coral Plus or Purple Plus light and replace it with a 5th Blue Plus, would that give a more blue color? If so, thoughts on which bulb to remove (Coral Plus or Purple Plus) would be best?

If I have 5 Blue Plus lights, would that be enough light for LPS and SPS corals?

Thanks!
 
b Hello Aqua man ! I'm about to change my bulbs I'm looking at the new bulbs as we speak . I use the ATI bulbs also. They are on my office couch . I also have the 6 bulb fixture . check out the ATI website they suggest 3 different bulb packages White , mid range & real blue . It tells Ya which bulbs to buy also check out my thread I asked the same question . I think this package has all blue plus but one . I wanted to go bluer as well

Awesome! Thanks! I might go all Blue Plus and see if I like it.
 
Cool ! That's what i'm gonna try. Keep your old bulbs incase it's too blue ! I'm so blue I'm singin too blue blues ! LOL
 
maybe add a strip of Royal Blue LED? you would still get the same growth as you are now and have the ability to turn on crazy disco mode lol
 
I enjoy looking at my tank much more when its solid blue
