Hits all the spectrum with good growth.

I'm going for a 12-14k look. What would you guesstimate your combo gave you?

The coral plus bulb is a 14kish bulb so that balances out the blue+. The purple plus/KZ fiji pink is really just there for some color pop. I like the combo, probably would align really nicely with the 12-14k looks. I know people love the GE 6500 bulb as it packs really nice PAR, but the drop off to an ATI coral plus or blue plus is not too much. The nice thing about t5s is you can replace them, so have some fun with it. AO carries almost all the ATI bulbs and tb aquatics for the GB right now also has them.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just placed my order with reef geek. Six bulb Sunpower w/ (4) blue + (1) purple + and (1) GE 6500. I'm very excited!
