T5 Suggestions - 8 light - Chalice/LPS/Zoas/Palys

[roblshan2000]

I'm going to set up my 75 gallon rimless with an ATI Powermodule. Should I go with the 6-8-10 bulb steup? Any suggestions on color combinations is much appreciated. The tank will be mostly Chalice/LPS/Zoas/Palys. Thanks in advance.

6 would be plenty. consider more only if you plan to upgrade soon.

6 bulbs will be more than enough. I ran a 75, with a 6 bulb Tek5 fixture, for several years. The tank was predominately SPS/Clams.
The ATI Powermodule will produce even higher PAR than the Tek5.

The bulb combination I've always used is a 50/50 mix of:
ATI Aquablue Special
ATI Blue Plus

This is the same combination I still use, with 10 bulbs, over my 200DD.

OK, so the 6 bulb ATI Powermodule for a 75 gallon rimless with Chalice/LPS/Zoas/Palys. Anymore suggestions on the color combinations? I'm want the max color I can. Thanks Logzor & Sid for respnding

1. Aquablue
2. Blue+
3. ATI Purple Plus or Fiji Purple
4. Blue+
5. Blue+
6. Aquablue

For a more blue look replace the front Aquablue with a blue, less blue replace a blue with an Aquablue

Thanks Favia, are those all ATI bulbs? Any other combinations that look good?
