[scott89wing]

[scott89wing]

red reefer do you have pics you can post of you light setup?

IMO if you place 2 coral plus and one purple plus you might find that the tank will have a pinkish coloring to it. I run the 4 blues and one of each ( coral and purple). I find it to be a very good combo. I've also tried the 4 blues with 2 coral plus...... This is also very nice.

k ya i ordered 4 blues and picked up a purple at lfs still have to get coral plus yet but going to try with 12000k instead of coral plus for time being till get one
