Currently i am running ATI Sunpower 6X54 on my tank right now. I want to swap out the light as its overkill for what i am keeping. Mainly just fish, Zoos, and the odd LPS.

I was thinking getting either the following:

2 50/50 48"
1 Blue 48"
or

1 Blue 48"
1 white 48"
1 50/50 48"

What would be the better combo

What size is your tank?

On the nano tank build that we posted on the forum here there wered 2 50/50 and 2 actinic fixtures and I really liked the coloration of this combo so tis is what I would advise.
If you are going for just three fixtures then I would probably use the 2 x 50/50 1 x actinic, but it does really hinge on the depth of your tank.

Ok, to start I would use:
2 50/50 48"
1 Blue 48"

Then when you can add another strip down the road I would add another of the blue 48" LED fixtures.

Are you going to mount these in a canopy, built your own brackets or use the reefbrite brackets?
