I'm split between KZ and geiseman, both great brands with very nice bulbs. As Lorzeno said the new gen 14k's are a great combo for growth and color. On the new zoa tank I have 3 KZ new gens, 1 KZ Fiji, 2 geiseman actinic plus and 2 KZ actinics.

^^^^
thats similar to what is running on the 60gal sps tank right now. Love the combo. Just enough supplimental colors to get that pop but with good growth.

i am obsessed with t5 bulbs and a new combo always comes to mind

Well Levi, Lorenzo and Kevin I think it might be an all KZ brand choice, as all of you have amazing tanks from what I have seen and I am going to try some SPS again in the new tank. Kien was kind enough to give me a couple REALLY NICE frags of what I think is green birds nest and I pick-up a huge colony of tellow birds nest for $15 today.

ATI AQUA BLUE = AQUA SCIENCE 15,000K OR KZ CORAL LIGHT
ATI BLUE PLUS = AQUA SCIENCE 22,000K OR KZ SUPER BLUE

It's that simple and the bulb color is almost identicle to the eye. I have used all of them and they are great. For some added red spectrum which in my opinion is needed for sps go with the following:

KZ FIJI PURPLE / AQUA SCIENCE 17,500K / URI ACTINIC WHITE

No worries, ATI, AQUA SCIENCE, AND KZ in my opinion are all very similar and close in quality and in PAR. Mix them up and you get the best of them all. I would love to see a 6 bulb combo using all of the these bulbs together. Maybe something like this.

AQUA SCIENCE 17,500K
ATI AQUA BLUE
KZ FIJI PURPLE
ATI BLUE PLUS
KZ NEW GEN
AQUA SCIENCE 22,000K
