Looking for some T5 bulb suggestions

[IanMauger]

What's up fellow reefers, I would like some opinions on which T5 bulbs I should run in conjunction with my 2x Kessil 360w. I found a deal (like 20$ lol) on Craigslist for a 48" T5HO 3 bulb fixture by Odyssea. I'm curious as what fellow reefers would run in the 3 bulb slots.

My reef is mixed with a bit more SPS.

Thanks guys!

I'm running dual kessil 160we, 2 ati blue+, 1 ati purple+, and one ati coral+ on my 90gal. Everything seems to enjoy the lighting. I also have a mixed Reef. My sps are growing and encrusting very well and my softies/zoas/LPS are also doing well and growing/splitting.

Following, Just ordered a 4 bulb myself. I got 2 coral + and 1 each of the Blue, AuquaB, Actinic to try different combo's. Also supplementing with 2 Kessil 160's.

I'd second the mix above from reefermaddness, I run that mix with my Radions. With three bulbs. I'd go 2 blue plus and a coral plus.

Blue+ and Coral+ are the best bangs for your buck.
Everything else is just aesthetics

A big fan of blue+ and purple+ bulbs.

As for the fixture if it still uses the stock ballast I would replace it asap. It severely underdrives the bulbs and they will lose par quickly.

Thanks Everyone for the quick suggestions. I'm definitely going to go with 2 blue+ and 1 coral+. As much as my tank is the focal point in my living room, I think maximizing growth/healthy far out weighs the aesthetics.
