So the time is getting close to when i have to replace bulbs on my X6, 54w-48'' Aquaticlife lighting system. I bought 2 bulbs today to try them out. Someone told me if it was them they would run X3 ATI Blue Plus and 1 Purple Plus, and 2 Actinic bulbs. I noticed they were Very blue so i did a little more research on them and it said they were one of the most Popular Actinic bulbs on the market. Currently i have 1 ATI Blue Plus, 2 Aquaticlife Actinic, 1 ATI Purple Plus, 1 Aquaticlife 10,000k, 1 Coralife 10,000k. The color is nice (better than it was with 4 10,000k which was really white). I run mostly SPS, LPS in my tank and i would like to hear what you guys think is the best Combo where its more blue over white without slacking on the White for coral growth. I have been thinking 3 ATI Aquablue Special, 1 ATI Purple Plus, and 2 ATI Actinic or 2 ATI Blue Plus. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for the help!!!
 
These are my sets of lights.

I like the first set a lot. I had tried the 2 BluePlus bulbs and they are so powerful they wash out the other colors. The KZ Superblue is comparable to the ATI BluePlus.
You are welcome to come over and look if you want.
