Good choice I choose colors as well that promote viewing, not growing. Everything is going to grow eventually, no point rushing it. Sure, you can frag stuff, but once you start trimming, pieces tend to look cut up. Enjoy the long term viewing pleasure.

Found one another one I really like (the pinks are still a bit lack luster):

ATi Blue Plus
ATi Coral Plus
ATi Blue Plus
ATI Purple Plus
ATi Coral Plus
ATi Blue Plus

Starry's suggestion is pretty representative of that look.

What if I went with 2 ATi Blue Plus, one ATi Coral plus, and one Fiji Pink?

I use 3x ATI blue+, 1x ATI Purple+ and I really like both the look and growth.

Well, I went with the ATi bulbs:

• 2 - Blue +
• 1 - Coral +
• 1 - Purple +

That should be a good starting point for me.

I was having a hard time sourcing the bulbs from different manufacturers, so in the end I decided to purchase based on what I could get from one single source.

They should be here Friday. I can't wait.

Thanks for all of the help and suggestions!
