That combo would work for growth but very likely be too blue for your liking, depending what color your going for. The ATI Blue Plus and the Giesemann Actinic Plus are fairly close in color so you'd have basically 3 blue bulbs and 1 Purple- result would be very blue... Maybe he meant to say ATI Aquablue Special instead of the Blue Plus? The Aquablue Special is a great bulb and would do much better in your setup.

Way to blue and not covering the full spectrum. In a 4 bulb combo i would do 2 kz superblue or ati blue plus and 1 kz new gen and 1 ke coral light. Tons of par great ciolor and way better growth then what you were suggested.
