I have 2 Fijis running with 2 250W 14K Phoenix Halides and I like the effect they give. I find them to be brighter and produce better coral color than blue or actinic bulbs. I also run 4 coral light T5s as well. I think it's important not to run too much purple, just enough for the color pop, too much purple ratio makes for a funny looking purple tank and takes away from the color pop effect, IMO.

The only change I would make to my current combination is switching 2 of the coral lights for the new gens.
