6 T5's enough light? Need opinions...

And btw we run almost the same bulb combo

ATI Actinic Blue Plus x4, 1 aquablue spezial, and a pure actinic instead of the fiji, but I've heard the fiji subbed in there is pretty awesome too!

So the more I think about it, I really think I'll regret not going 8 bulbs...plus the dimensions on the 6 bulb fixture are only 12-13" wide and the 8 bulbs Powermodule is 17.5" wide. On a 24" wide tank Im worried I wouldn't get enough light spread from the 6 bulb...What do you guys think? Figure if I'm gonna break the bank I might as well do it right? haha

Now what bulb combo should I run? I ran 6 Blue + and 2 Aquablue Specials before and liked the color, but what do you think about switching one of the AB Specials out for a Fiji Purple?

With a 24" wide tank, i'm going to vote for the 8 bulb as well. You're corals will adjust, you might just need to acclimate them to the full lighting slowly. Maybe shorten your light cycle to start or if you're suspending it then just hang it higher to start and lower it over a few weeks. As far as color combo if you like the look you had before then i'd say stick with something similar. You'll still get great growth and color out of everything.
