Ok, let's hear it!

I tried 5 blue+, 2 Coral+ and 1 Purple+ and it was the best blue combination for me. Aquablue Special might not be your thing, it's quite a bit more yellow than coral+.

I figured more blue+ might give a nice color but not enough PAR. Maybe more coral+?

The blue + and coral + are actually very close in par.

Yep, apparently some guys go with 7 blue+ and 1 coral+ and still grow SPS on the sand.

Blue+ is where it's at! All you need from the other bulbs are the yellow and red spectrum imo.

And it's done. LEDs off, ATI T5 on. Found a couple extra Blue+, so just waiting for the 6 daytime bulbs to fire up to see what it looks like. Room looks different without the giant canopy on the tank

Ya, I'll get some pics. As for bulb change, it's cheaper than MH and that's never really been a concern of mine. I figure it's the cost of having nice coral.
Keeping things in perspective, I spend enough for bulbs each month at sbux, so bulbs every 10 months isn't a biggie
