Thank you!!'
That was very helpful. This is a very tough decision

What do you think about-
(Front to back)
Blue plus
Actinic
Blue plus
Coral plus (I am having a hard time between that and aqua blue special)

Try 2 Blue plus, 1 purple plus, 1 coral plus, or 2 purple plus.

It's all up to you but I'd choose the coral plus .... that's me [emoji6]

I'm using 2 and I don't really like it, it's really personal preference

I like the look of coral plus and blue plus.... but it's also been stated that it's personal preference which is correct.

To help, Coral plus have more whitening tones. Blue plus will have more blue tones. Purple plus will have more purple tons. If you want to be able to take some decent pictures i would throw in 1 or 2 coral plus.

ATI Blue+ and Purple + for me.

My 8 bulb Ati won't be here until Thursday but this is what I chose and the order. It seems to me if you don't have a few coral plus it goes really bluish pretty heavy.

Ask yourself what you like to grow under the 4 bulbs of your choice?
What is the foot print of your tank?

I have rock nems, a RBTA, zoas, lps and softies in my tank. I have 2 montipora (ones not doing to hot) and thy aren't my biggest priority. I have a standard 29 gallon tank so I think it is 24" long, 12" wide and 18" tall (I could be wrong but that is just off the top of my head. Thanks!
