T5 bulb combo decision.

[hotnickz07]

Hey guys just had a quick question about what would be the best possible combo for both growth and colors.
Currently im using a 6 bulb ATI with the following.

Front to Back

KZ super blue
Coral +
KZ super blue
ATI true Actinic
Coral +
KZ super blue

I have a Aquablue Special thats is brand new. Wondering if i should change out one of the top bulbs for it, to get overall better growth, color, and coral health. What do yall think? And why
Thanks
Jorge

My favorite 6 bulb configuration is as follows.

Front:
ATI Blue+
ATI Purple+
ATI Blue+
ATI Coral+
ATI Blue+
ATI Blue+

Back

It really depends on what you are looking for though. IME the Aquablue Special bulb washes out the colors of corals, and the True actinic does not add enough par to the system, as well as being unnoticable in the combo when all the lights are on. Those are two bulbs I gave up on.
