    Exclamation need some input on bulb selection

    i currently have 4x t5's over my 29g tank 24" and i use the following front to back

    ATI blue +
    ATI aquablue special
    KZ Fiji purple
    ATI blue +


    i need new bulbs soon so i am wondering what other people use for their high par bulb layouts. i was thinking of skipping out on the purple all together and going

    ATI blue +
    ATI blue +
    ATI aquablue special
    ATI blue +

    this will give it a lot more color pop to the tank while still having generally the same par. i am working on switching my tank over to a few softies and then the rest sps so the tank will mainly be sps.
