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

Brad, congrats in making the change! I'll have to come over soon to see the tank under only t5s. I'm still researching and waiting for some technology being perfected with the t5s ( dimming etc...) before I will make the plunge however at this time, the mitras are as close to t5s it's gonna get at this time for me ( please keep in mind that this is my opinion based on how my eyes react to the lighting the mitras put out).

I am keeping a close eye on them ati hybrids... I see that there are some nice tanks that had recently changed over to the t5 hybrids from LEDs which includes the mitras.
