    Hello I have a 4 bulb t5 ( 80 watt per bulb) fixture.. On a 110 gallon 5 foot aquarium..
    one of the actinic bulbs is going out so I would like to get ati replacements bulbs(4)..
    I was wondering which combo I should go with . I like a little blue, but I want it crisp white also.. Which would be the best combo and what corals would I be able to grow.. Thanks

    You will be able to grow any coral you want under the fixture with ATI bulbs.

    I suggest 2X ATI Blue Plus, 1X ATI Aquablue Special and 1X ATI Coral Plus.

    Par is in line with the Blue Plus and Aquablue Special. It has more red light and enhances the look of corals with a red based color like pinks and purples.
