Need some help on my T5 bulb combo.I have a 4 bulb 36in.fixture for my 30 gal.I have mostly zoas but do have a few sps and lps.I dont really care for the way the glow will look just looking for better color and growth on my corals.Its a tough choice but i have narrowed it down to 3 diffrent t5 bulb combinations and would like your input.Any help would be appreciated thanx

2 Blue Plus, Super Actinic, Aquasun,
or
2 Blue Plus,2 Blue Special
or
2 Blue Special,Figi Purple,Blue plus
 
your 3rd combo is prolly the best for your zoo's and lps...
the blue plus bulbs have such a high par rating that it might bleach alot of your stuff imo.
are you over driven them or just running them normal?? without being over driven you might be able to get away with combo 1 on that shallow of a tank...
 
I really like how the Fiji Purple makes the corals pop, I would also pick the second choice.
 
I would go with the 3rd combo. I really like the Figi purple bulb.
