ati sun power bulb combo

[ClownfishReefer]

Which bulbs are you all running on you ATI ?

 

I am looking for the best combination to get good color and growth on SPS

[Matteo]

Honestly they will all have good growth for SPS it really comes down to preferences on color.

[ClownfishReefer]

even if its too blue?

This video by Advanced Reef Aquarium and the one that precedes it are great.

 

Really comes down to aesthetic. Most of the ATI / KZ / UV bulbs have great par. If you don't care about the look, then slap a few GE 6500k/10k bulbs on there and call it a day.

Oh I love this video!

[ClownfishReefer]

I decided to go with

 

B+ C+ B+ P+ C+ B+

OR

B+ C+ Actinic , P + C+ B+

 

What do you all think? would the actinic cause to low a par?

[ManGups]

U will like the 1st combo.

2nd is also good .. Neither will have an issue with par.how deep is ur tank anyway?

Hi Clown - the actinic plus actually produces a lot of useful light for the coral - however, it will not look very bright to your eye. I think it's a great supplemental bulb that can add a little bit of extra fluorescence to help balance out the white.

Hi, its a 24" deep tank! i used aqua blue special once and hated it... it washes out the coral color :/
