the coral light, ati aqua blue, and the giesemann aqua blue are all the exact same in color to the eye. The ati aqua blue is more 11,000k and the kz new gen is a true 14,000k. I like the combo but i would swap one of the three 11,000k white bulbs for an ati blue plus or an kz superblue. They will make you tank look a bit to yellowish even though they are white bulbs. If you like the white look then go with another new gen or an aqua science 17,500k.

I think it is a great with a ton of par but it is going to look very 12,000k ish. I like a white look which makes colors look realistic but most people want a bluer look and find a bluer light will help color up sps. I run the following and i like it and it is kind 14,000k.

KZ FIJI PURPLE

IF i had the choice i would swap one coral light for one more NEW GEN which i think its the nicest t5 bulb i have ever used and i have pretty much used them all lol.
