I don't think ati makes a bulb called a superblue. But I think 4 blue plus , 1 coral plus and a purple plus seems to be a popular combo. Or 4 blue plus and 2 coral plus , as the coral plus have a fair bit of red in them ,which makes up for a little of the missing red by removing the purple. It will also be higher par going with the extra coral plus

Personally, I am not liking the pink/purple bulbs I've used from ATI and KZ, so I'm removing the one I have now

I modded my fixture to control all 4 pairs separately

Sorry, don't have any pics, but my 8-bulb is;

Blue Plus 12-1 & 8-10
Coral Plus 1-8
Aquablue Special 2-7
Aquablue Special 4:30-6:30
Coral Plus 4:30-6:30
Aquablue Special 2-7
Coral Plus 1-8
Blue Plus 12-1 & 8-10

As you can see, I prefer whiter light

Agh sorry aqua blue special is what I was thinking for one bulb. I like the bluer look, and don't mind the purple myself.... I'm not a sps guy, more Lps/zoas and softies.

6 bulb fixture
2 Blue Plus
4 Coral Plus
What do you think?

I agree on not liking the pink/purple bulbs much either. On an 8 bulb or 10 bulb it's not bad , but with only 6 bulbs I would prefer to stick with higher par stand alone bulbs. And the coral plus is a very warm "white" bulb with a decent amount of red spectrum.
