I have a 6 bulb 36 aquaticlife t5 fixture; it has individual reflectors and is a pretty solid fixture.
The superblues are very similar to an aqua science 22,000k or an ati blue plus but not as deep of a blue color. It’s definitely different from the other bulbs and is more of a metallic blue color and is very close to what the manufacture list it as "20,000k". I was worried that it wouldn't fluoresce as much as the aqua science 22,000k but it does, and it appears to be brighter to the eye, but the eye isn’t a great indicator of par. I think the future par test are going to show that this bulb will have as much if not more par then an ati blue plus. I personally like the new gen bulb better then the coral light bulb and if I were to do it again I would have got two new gens and 1 coral light instead of the other way around. You will not regret going with these bulbs. I also really like the Fiji purple it isn’t as overpowering as I thought and it really helps with purple, reds, and blues.

4 bulb i would do the following
KZ SUPERBLUE X2 KZ NEW GEN X1 KZ CORAL LIGHT X1 If you really want the red i would use a fiji purple but it might be overpowering on a 4 bulb. If you were to use a fiji pruplei would use this. KZ SUPERBLUE X2 KZ CORAL LIGHT X1 KZ FIJI PURPLE X1 The coral light is suposed to have 6% of its spectrum in the red so you might not need the fiji purple.

Holy crap (nice camera phone pictures for one) and secondly and most important WOW huge difference I am glad you posted this I am getting the aquaticlife 12 bulb T5HO fixture. How do you like yours? I will be looking into getting those KZ bulbs and along the same combo you go. Simply put beautiful corals and tank. Thanks for sharing.

No problem you will like both the fixture and the bulbs, the combo is spot on, if you like a little bit more blue you couold go with 1 more super blue or new gen in place of the coral light but i prefer a natural look then the over powering blue color some people run. Ps, tehe led on the fixture are really cool.
