i am running 2 ati aquablue , 1 blueplus, 1 giesemann aquablue, actinic plus and 1 uvi aquablue. the fixture is very quiet and the lighting much brighter compared to the nova pro.

Have you tried the Giesemann pure actinic before? It makes green pop like I've never seen, but it's very violet. Two bulbs were too violet for me so I added a actinic plus to the combo to balance it some. I'm running two Aquablue+, 1-pure actinic, 1-actinic plus. I may switch out one of the aquablue+ with a ATI aquablue down the road. I think that ATI is a 14K bulb compared to 11K. I'd like a little more blue when all four bulbs are on.

the actinic+ should be replaced with a ati blue+ then if you want more blue add a aquascience duo (17500k) or a aquascience 15000k to replace one aquablue+ and then replace the other with aquablue special

Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds good. I'll look into that ATI blue+. I have heard much about aquascience bulbs before. Are they new?

looks great (tank looks like its been running for 10yrs)! so did you make any plans for the nova pro or did you sell it? I know I'm a tank and tubing away from starting up "something" from old parts taken off/replaced.
