sux when bulbs cost more than the fixture :P

Here's the underside of my fixture with the bulbs lit... The UVL Aquablue 14,000K 75/25 is on the left side... I agree with Masterbuilder that the Aquablue 75/25 is not terribly bright and IS pink in color when lit, the pic doesn't represent it accurately but DOES represent the other 3 bulbs quite accurately.

Those UVL 75/25 are have a pink color to them and are fairly low in PAR. I am not sure why they call them Aquablue.

 

I have two of the ULV 75/25's over my tank, and they are in no way "pink", they're way bluer than tye UVL Actnic Whites, but not as blue as the UVL actinics (but they're still pretty damn blue)...that's weird.

 

now the UVL AquaSun, now that's a pinkish bulb...the people in my reef club call them pepto's.

^^^^ Thanks a lot, now I'm feeling undecided again on my bulb combo that I want to use!

 

I'm going back and forth between your combo and a combo of 2 Aquablue, 1 Blue+, and a Fiji Purple.

I like the blue in your setup, but was concerned that that amount of blue would wash some colors out.

What do you think Travis, do all of your coral colors POP, or are a few colors slightly washed out?

Does it look even a little bit dim because of the amount of blue?

All of the colors that I have do "pop", but I don't have any coral that is yellow so I don't know how the yellows look but greens are amazing.

 

I don't find the tank dim at all.

That should look the way you wanted...Will be very blue, but corals should really glow.

Bah.

I was also thinking about getting 2 Blue+ and one KZ Coral II.

Hmm, now where could I get that from?

Replaced one of the 10K bulbs with an actinic:

So now:

2x Current 24w 460nm actinics

1x Sunpaq 24w 460nm actinic

1x Current 24w 10K

 

Before:

Just placed my order for my bulbs.

I'm going with a combo of:

2 ATI Blue+

1 KZ Fiji Purple

1 KZ Coral Light II (supposed to have a 14k look)

 

I'll try to post a pic of how they look over my tank when I get them in.

Im working with a 4x39w Tek fixture and I am looking for a bluer tank. Current specs are

 

ATI Blue+

ATI BLue SPecial

UVL Aquasun

ATI Blue+

 

What should I replace the aquasun with? Another blue special or maybe even an actinic <<<blah OR a fiji purple? I would still like to keep a good PAR rating though since I plan to get clams.

Why not replace it with a Fiji Purple?

Check out the pic masterbuilder posted (on the first pg. I think) of that exact combo and see if you like it.

Or you could replace it with a KZ Coral Light II which is supposed to have a 14k look to it.
