ATI Bulb Combo Question

[lbannie]

Just got new ATI bulbs for xmas! I've been messing around with different combos since I got 6 bulbs but only need 4. Right now I have 2 actinics and 1 aquablue special, 1 blue plus. Can I take the aquablue special out and have 2 actinics and 2 blue pluses? With the aquablue special it seems to "white". I just want to make sure it will be ok for the corals....

no, the blue plus is meant to be a supplemental bulb. ur corals wont like it. u need two aquablue special out of the 4 for the corals.

Can you show me a link to where you got that information? Just curious...

Seems like Blue Plus actinics by ATI beats out a lot of the other competition...
