The blue plus doesn't come close to royal blue led for pop.

Any thoughts on Blue + combo and Actinic? Still gathering ideas...

I am personally not a fan of actinics. I tried them once and didn't like them at all. They didn't really add anything to my tank. Not enough blue and not enough growth spectrum. The 22K T5s I find add a nice colour pop while still providing usable PAR.

Yes those bulbs and the blue plus put lots of useable light out. Actinic I think have barely any par and also require more frequent replacement than other t5.
