Well....it's about time to change out my bulbs, 1 have a 4 bulb system with plans to add another double bulb fixture in the near future.

I have a 36" 60 gal mixed reef....that is slowly becoming SPS dominant.

I've tryed reading a few threads on what bulbs do what, but It just confuses me.......

I wanted to know what you guys are using and what you would suggest.

Right now I'm running the following from front to back:

Super Actinic
Actinic+
Aquablue (giesemann)
Fiji purple
Actinic+

Gives a nice white look with bluish-pink tint but when I change bulbs in a few months I'm going for 3x ATI blue plus and 2x ATI aquablue special in my 5 bulb retro. I've heard good things about this combo...good par and a bluer look.
