Hi there guys, I have a red sea reefer 250 and I'm looking at getting the aquatic life fixture to supplement them with. My question is what 4 bulb combo would be best for an SPS tank? Here is my schedule on the Hydras.

Do you prefer the heavy blue look, shallow water low kelvin natural, or in between?

Blue heavy:
2 Blue+
2 true actinic

Middle of the road
2 blue+
2 coral+

Natural high noon shallow seas
2 blue+
2 giesemann tropic 6500k

Don’t fret over nuanced differences in growth from combo to combo whichever you go with...it’ll be negligible. The blue heavy mixture would read a little low on a par meter but that’s just because even the good ones report 10-20% low in the 400-420 Nm range.
