t5 lighting combinations?

[swiatrek]

Its time to replace my bulbs in my four bulb 48" aquatic life fixture, and have no clue what combination to use. I know I could go to the fish store i always use and just let him put whatever he thinks is best, but I think i can get better bulbs for a cheaper price if I do it myself. This is my first time changing these bulbs so currently just have what it came with, 2 10k and 2 actinic, I think. I have a 75 gallon with mostly lps, but would like to get some sps in the near future. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated, I am ready to buy, but trying to be patient and do some research.

I have a 4 bulb AL on my frag tank....

I quickly replaced the bulbs for 2 ATi blue, 1 coral plus, 1 aqua blue special.... Althought it looked good I am after growth so a little more white lighting is what I want... I took out the coral plus, which I didn't really care for, and put in the GE 65k bulb and took out the aqua blue(which was a nice looking light) and put in a 453 actinic that came with my fixture....

When I bought the bulbs I ordered 1 extra to play with the color, I do regret not ordering 1 or 2 more to play with....

The combination can be up to your liking when you have the extras..

I like the GE 65k bulb, and it's hella bright... Almost yellow but not... Read good reviews on it, which is why I ordered... But I had to take out the aquablue as it was very white with the GE, so I swapped in the AL 453 and it brought the color almost where I wanted it...

I would try
3 blue+
1 GE 65K or aqua blue special

Or
2 blue +
1 aquablue special
1 purple plus(another bulb I don't care for)but some love it..
