Preferred bulb colors for T5 setup's

[spawn]

I'm just wondering what bulb combo's people are currently running that they feel are giving them the best colors, especially purple's, using only T5 lighting. My color's are quite good for green's, yellowy green, orange, red, blue, but I think my purple's could be better, & with a new light coming I'm looking for suggestions to help the purple's pop. oh Yeah Sps domintent setup. My current setup with KZ from front to back with a 6 bulb is. Changing from stock RSM 250 Hood to a Tek Light for better reflectors.

In my 2x T5 6 bulb fixtures I use 2x ATI blue plus, 2x ATI 12K, 1x Giesman reefpink & 1x redwave in each and it makes for a great combo.

When I get the new light in I'm going to try a few combo's out, would you be able to post any pics? Thanks.

I'm interested in seeing any full tank shot's with just the t5's & curious to see the ATI. Do you find that you get good growth with just those bulbs? my new set up that i'm about to use is

what about 4 bulbs? im using 2 zeo corallights a fiji purple and a giessman super actinic and im not happy with the color it looks tom red. thinkin i should lose the fiji but what should i replace it with?

[TheMikey]

I never really cared about the fiji purple bulbs in my 4 x 24W system. But, being a poor college student, I waited until I had to replace them to change up the colour combo.

I'm running now:

1 x KZ Coral Light (10K)
1 x KZ Coral Light New Gen (14K)
2 x KZ Superblue

Really like the look. During daylight my colours still pop and I get nice polyp extension and growth. At night, I run run the 14K and one 22K as my dusk/dawn and it's considerably more blue but not so much that it creates an Avatar-blue look.

I have to take some pics... I'll post here later.
