aquablue special washes out the color of the tank.

i would go with 4 blue plus and 2 purple plus.

[ashr]

What do you mean washes out the tank? Please explain

Also remember I am looking for something with good SPS growth with good colours

[Mandosh]

I agree that the Aquablue can be harsh, which can make corals look washed out. They do put out a ton of par if you're looking for growth. The par numbers for the Blue+ are pretty close though.

Maybe look into the new Coral+ bulbs. They're brand new so I've never used them but they seem like they would give you the best of both worlds.

[ashr]

Well I think Ill stay away from the Aquablue then.. Maybe ill look at the new coral plus

[ashr]

so how do people feel about this:

3 Blue+, 2 Aquablue, and 1 Purple+.

Or
4 blue+ 2 Purple +

3 Blue+, 2 Aquablue, and 1 Purple+, by a mile.
