I have a 8 bulb tek5 ho 48" Fixture on a 75 Gallon. I have a mix of coral including more SPS than LPS and some softies. What combination of bulbs would you all run without cost affecting your decision?

any ati, uvi or giesemann bulbs r good. if u want bluer color, go with a few aquablue and some midday bulbs.

Ive decided to go with Giesemann bulbs but I am still unsure which eight to get, I like a blue look but but not to extreme. Anyways I would rather have better coral growth than looks. Also I have a few nice zoanthids If that effects anything.
Here are my choices
-Giesemann Actinic+
-Giesemann Aqua Blue+
-Giesemann Pure Actinic
-Giesemann Midday
-Giesemann Aqua Flora

I am currently running this combination of bulbs over my 50 gal.

Aquablue plus

I really like the color I am getting out of this currently, but I am sure others much more knowledgable in T5s will have some other suggestion as well.
