T5 Bulbs
When I setup my tank I bought the 4 bulb Current T5. I currently have a large finger leather that is starting to turn brownish. It was originally a light tan color. My question for you is since I have the stock T5 bulbs would it make a difference if I changed my bulbs to ATI bulbs? Will I get a better growth rate from zoas and mushrooms? Any help would be great.
This is the combo I am thinking about.
2 ATI blue plus
1 KZ fiji purple
1 ATI aquablue special
The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.

Alot of it is going to be personal taste in the color of the tank. I have never ran the fiji purple. I have a 4 light set up on a 30g and run blue+, UVL actinic white, aquablue special, blue+. The set up you mention sounds good, but you might splurge on a couple of extra bulbs to play with.

Will the new bulbs help my coral? Will I see better growth?

Yes, you will get better par ratings with quality bulbs and add different spectrum of color.
