ive learned a lot already from grim ... ill be changing my order around
Lamp placement and combinations

Most people prefer a blue look to some extent so it is important to have a blue or actinic lamp at the front. An Aquablue will also work. Actinic lamps or the red ones listed above that are mainly used to provide a visual effect should be placed far enough forward that the majority of the light strikes the viewing side of the corals if only one is used. You also want to make sure blue or actinic lamps are in your Dusk/Dawn slots or a combination of the two. Another Dusk/dawn combination I like is one of the reddish lamps with a blue, cool effect. Other than that try to place the lamps to provide a somewhat even spread of light across the tank. Try not to bunch your non blue lamps in one spot. If you are placing clams on the sand bed make sure there are some higher output lamps towards the front to insure they get enough intensity.

I'm currently running 2 - ATI Blue Plus and 2 - ATI Aquablue Special on my 75g and love the color. On my 20g, I did follow the recommendation for a 4 bulb from the google pages site & grim reefer suggestions with the 2 blue plus, UVL super actinic and 10000k, and it looks good and growth is good but much prefer the 2 blue plus and 2 blue plus specials, not too blue not too white, just right

If an group order gets started let me know, I want to replace the actinic and the 10k bulb in my 20g with the aquablue specials

You should post pics of both bulb configurations when you get them.

Will do. There will be plenty of pics on this tank build.
