I have a 20 long aquarium with two kessil a160we lights with spectral controller.
Tank is all SPS and LPS.

I added a cheap 24” t-5 ho fixture in an attempt to get rid of some of the shadowing.
Right now I am just using a lesser known brand actinic bulb. To my eyes it looks way more blue than an actinic bulb should.
I am going to purchase a better fixture. I am getting a reefbrite single bulb fixture.

Since I only have room for one bulb, what would be the best bulb to use for growth and coloration?
 
ATI Blue+ if you like a hint of blue coloring
ATI Coral+ if you like a whiter color
Both are excellent single bulbs.
 
Blue +, but Have you considered an Orphek LED Blue Plus bar instead? Gorgeous pop and color from them.
