Ati blue plus or kz superblue
kz fiji purple
kz new gen or ati aqua blue
Ati blue plus or kz superblue

this will give you good growth and a nice color.
this combo work well on a 2 bulb fixture?

ATI Aquablue Special 12,000K
ATI Blue Plus

i want to try the ATI bulbs before I go hog wild and change out all the bulbs in my 4 bulb setup.
