T5 Bulb suggestions for SPS

[DracoKat]

Hey all,

I am going to order some new 48" T5 HO Bulbs soon, but before I do, I'd like some suggestions.

Currently, my SPS is doing great. Growing and nice and puffy, I am happy with the growth. However, I noticed most of them is turning green. I saw that means there's too much blue. I'd like to try to get their "natural" colors if I can (Honestly, I don't remember what colors they were originally). But I'd like to try to get some reds in them.

I also have LPS and softies. its a mixed tank

Currently my lightings are:
(4 bulb Coralife T5 HO fixture)
2 Blue+
Purple +
Coral +
Supplemented with 1 SBar Actinics LEDs

I love the color overall in my tank, but if I have to take one blue bulb to get less green, I'll do it.

suggetions please?

For me at least, it has never been the amount of blue but the amount of light and positioning in the tank. Had two red planet frags, one high one low, the lower one had more green in it. 3 coral+ 3 blue+

I run 4B+ 1C+ 1AB and absolutely love the colors. My tank looks Windex blue, but the C+ and AB Special make my reds, yellow, pinks POP. I would try an AB Special bulb and see how you like it. Good luck!!

I run 4 blue+, 1 coral+, and 1 purple+. Sps are all colored up nicely and the look isn't too blue imo.
