    I would feel very safe w/ 6 bulbs on that tank- but as Manoj said- Never know when the extra 2 could come in handy.

    From the studies I've read on RC it looks like the ATI fixtures have about a 20% better output than say a Tek fixture, so I was thinking I'd be ok...I have several nice brains and scolys that I would like to put on the sand so was just worrying about cooking them. All my SPS would be in the middle of the tank up near the top. Plus being only 20" tall I would think I should be ok??

    For bulb combo, I like a slightly bluer look and was thinking:

    Front

    ATI Blue +
    ATI Aquablue Special
    ATI Blue +
    ATI Blue +
    KZ Fiji Purple
    ATI Blue +

    Back

    What do you guys think about that? Or should I scratch the KZ and just do another Aquablue Special?
