Coloring up corals

[CoryDude]

All ati bulbs

one true actinic ( love this bulb)
Two blue plus
one aquablue special

That's the exact combo I have on my 60 gallon. I;ve tried UVL, coralife, and blue life bulbs and NOTHING beats this ATI combo. A little on the blue side, but enough white to keep things growing at a nice pace.

Thank you all for you tips, I did look at the lights on my tank and they are
1x 10k
1x ocean sun
2x true actinic
it gives a nice white color but the corals don't pop.
If I was to add blue strip of led light and let that stay on for 1-2 hours would it make the color pop, as well as adding a 6500k bulb light?

You currently have 2 daylight bulbs.... You could go with one and be alright....

You will notice those with more colorful corals run them more on the blue side 14k+ .... The GE bulb is in the 65k range, it will give you growth but colors will lack more than they do now with only 4 bulbs.... In a 6 bulb set up, it would be easy to cover up the yellowish hue put out by it but not in a 4 bulb set up.....

Are you sure it's a ati true actinic or just a actinic bulb? There's a difference..

dump the unknown 10k bulb for a ati aquablue

dump one of the true actinic for a ati blue plus

dump the ocean sun for another ati blue plus....

Save on buying LEDs for now... But even I put some on my 4 bulb set up to get more blue and pop....t5s just don't make colors pop like LEDs but the bulbs your currently running wont help colors...

If I ever have to run t5s I won't put another bulb besides ati....

They are very affordable and proven to work.....
