suggestion on bulbs

[fastrd400]

I'd probably run a Purple Plus, a Blue Plus, and then 2 of the Aquablue Special. The Blue Plus are quite a bit brighter than the true Actinics, and the Purple Plus is a great supplement to the brighter colored corals. The 15K bulbs are a bluer spectum so you should be able to achieve what you want with that configuration.

It seems that BRS carries different "Aquablue Special" than Reefgeek does...
The graphs seem to correspond with the K ratings tho.

Either ATI makes different Kalvin "Aquablue Specials" or some1 has got the wrong info lol...

Yup, and see, that's what I was going by. Kinda odd.
