    Im setting little frag tank. I have Current 4-24w T5 stock bulbs. I like ATI bulbs. I like to get decent grow and nice look. Im thinking 2-Aquablue, 1-Blue Plus, 1- Purple Plus or 1- Aquablue and 2- Blue Plus and 1- Purple Plus. What you guys think?. Thanks.

    I would go with 2 BP, 1 ABS and 1 PP or coral plus if you want a white bulb. If you don't want a white bulb in there go with 2 BP and 2 CP this is the combo I use on my tank.

    Yes the CP is a coral plus. It is a mix of the purple plus, aquablue special and blue plus. It has a light pinkish/lavender color.

    Yes, if it looks too dark start your alternating bulbs with the CP.
