Daytime lighting for my 8 bulb Tek consists of 2 10 000K Coral Lites & 2 15 000K New Generations. You'd like the blue spectrum of these New Gens. The rest of my bulbs are 3 Super Blues & 1 Fiji Purple. All bulbs are Korallen-Zucht.

Default bulbs

I was thinking of doing this: from front to back
Kz coral 2, fiji purple, kz coral 2, fiji pink. What u guys think? Corals will like this lighting? the 10000k bulbs in my fixture now absolutley suck. They are the odyssea ones and I thinki they causing my algae problem. And the kz coral 2 bulbs those are the 15000k ones right?

I don't know if I'd go that route. I'd keep one Coral Lite 10000K, one New Generation 15000K (or Coral Lite 2 14000K), one Fiji Purple and one Super Blue 20000K. The 2 Fijis would give you too much of the red spectrum which may contribute to your algae problem. Some of your corals might also benefit from the lower K rating of the regular Coral Lite also.
